Cornwall Landscape Workshop

My Cornwall workshops are based close to the town of Hayle. Over the course of the workshop we will explore various locations on both the north and south coast of the peninsula all the way down to Land's End. Expect to photograph lighthouses, sandy beaches, rocky coves, fishing villages, ancient monuments and coastal close-ups. In 2025 the workshop is timed to coincide with the blooming of coastal wildflowers, so expect swathes of thrift, vetch and campion adorning the coastal cliffs. During any spells of bad weather we will photograph woodlands and waterfalls and may also try some "painting with torchlight" techniques after dark. The dates of this workshop vary each year, but if we have dark skies there will also be the possibility of some astro-landscape photography along the coastline. The exact locations chosen will depend upon the weather conditions at the time.

This workshop begins at midday on the first day and ends after sunset on the final day. There will be two and a half days of photography in total. We will always try to make best use of the nice light around sunrise and sunset (weather permitting), so be prepared for long days out in the field. We normally have a break back at the hotel in the middle of the day when the light is harsh. This provides time to review images and run through a few Photoshop techniques. I will demonstrate some of the techniques that I use in my own landscape photography; such as hyperfocal focussing and focus-bracketing for front to back sharpness and exposure bracketing and blending to control contrast in sunrise and sunset shots. Although this is one of my shorter workshops, it always seem much longer due to the wide variety of subjects we cover!

It's a long way down to Hayle! I'm happy to collect people en-route from Dorset, or I can collect you from Dorchester train station early on 19th May (direct line from Waterloo and Dorchester Premier Inn right next to the station).
