Description An opportunity to enjoy four days photographing the beautiful coastline of Anglesey Island and the epic landscapes of Snowdonia.

The Anglesey coast is blessed with beautiful sandy beaches, dramatic rocks and photogenic lighthouses with the brooding shapes of the Snowdonia mountains ever-present in the distance. The landscape of Snowdonia areispacked with atmosphere, crystal clear lakes, waterfalls, historic castles and old slate quarries and of course the rugged, hills and mountains.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 The Slate, a cosy B&B 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 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.

Following the workshop there will be an image review session via Zoom which is not only an opportunity to receive critique on your work but to see and discuss the photos that others have taken during the trip.

What is included? On my workshops, every detail is taken care of from the transport, delicious food, comfortable private rooms to the stunning locations so you can relax and concentrate on enjoying the photography.
