Description An opportunity to enjoy four days photographing the beautiful coast of Northern Ireland.

This trip spans both the Causeway Coast and Antrim coast areas of outstanding natural beauty. With ruined castles perched on clifftops, dark basalt rocks and bright chalk cliffs, pretty harbours nestled in coves and wide sandy beaches this stretch of coast is a treasure trove for photographers. We'll be out with the camera capturing these places when the light is (hopefully) at its best around sunrise and sunset as well as a tutorial on processing the images using Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop back at the hotel.

Where do we stay? The workshop is based at Grays Hotel, Bushmills, a cosy hotel ideally situated in the heart of the area close to all the locations we will be shooting.

Who is it aimed at? An understanding of the basics will be useful but this course is suitable for photographers of all levels, anyone looking to improve their landscape photography and enjoy a photography trip and hopefully a few laughs, with a small group of like-minded people. I pride myself on providing plenty of personal tuition during my workshops, so numbers are limited to 5 participants to enable me to spend plenty of time with everyone.

On this workshop we will look at all aspects of coastal landscape photography, including composition, exposure settings, focusing, using live view, using filters and anything else that comes up. My workshops are supported by LEE filters who have kindly supplied complete sets of filters for those who do not have them to use on the day and I will be on hand to offer expert advice on how, when and why to use them. As a LEE Filters ambassador, I can also give individual advice on choosing filters, as well as a discount code, to anyone who needs it.
