Typical Itinerary
10-15 minute phone call or skype session before the workshop so I can tailor the workshop to what you want to achieve or an aspect of seascape photography you particularly want to improve.
Meet at location 2 hours before sunset to work on composition and technique before the (hopefully) optimum light develops. I can arrange to pick you up if you live close or on the way.

How fit do I need to be
You should have a moderate degree of fitness. Althought we will drive to the location so the walking distances will be short, the path down to the coast is often steep. As with any rocky beach it can be slippery so footwear with a good grip is a must. There is no rush so we can take our time.
What level of photographer is this workshop aimed at?
The workshop is tailored to you so any level of photographer is welcome. For beginners all foundations of landscape photography will be covered. For more experienced photographers more advanced creative techniques will be explored.
Do you offer any other workshops?
Yes, I also offer a sunrise seascape photography workshop
What time does the workshop run?
It all depends on what time the sun goes down. The longest day of the year – June 21st, the sun sets at 9:38pm, so if the blue hour is good and we then spend some time reviewing images, the workshop would typically run until about 11:30pm. For a 9:38pm sunset we would arrive at the location about 7:30pm.
