Description
Join me on the 9th August to capture a seasonal highlight of the purple heather blooming in the Peak District. This workshop is aimed towards those who wish to walk a little further to capture some less seen but classic viewpoints.Each year, the brown moorlands of the Peak District comes to life for roughly 3 weeks when the heather turns to a vivid purple, ravishing the moors. It is a visual spectacle, with landscapes completely transformed. It becomes a photographer’s paradise.On this workshop, we will look at spending a day out in the Peak District to capture the heather at its best. The first part of the day will be visiting Fair Brook which is a brook just off the Snake Pass and on the Northern side of Kinder Scout.We will meet at 13:45 and do a meet and greet with the other photographers to get to know each other before heading out. We will then head out up the brook in search of heather, waterfalls and mountain backdrops. Around 20-30 minutes from the car, there is a fantastic trident waterfall with a fantastic setting off all three of the aforementioned elements. The descent down is tricky but worth the effort. Here we can try out filters and long exposures. Please also note that this location is small and only two photographers can work at a time here, so the other two clients may wish to explore while waiting for the spot.After that we will drive over to Cutthroat Bridge which while a little less interesting offers an easy ascent onto Derwent Edge. We will walk along, passing various gritstone formations amongst the heather, which we can snap on our way. We will likely stop at Lead Hill and Whinstone Lee Tor. Our ultimate location though is 2.5 miles from the car, but 100% worth the trek. It is, of course, the icon of the Peak District, the Salt Cellar. We will finish off with a sunset here before returning to the car which should take around 45 minutes. We would probably get back to the car around 21:45.As there is a fair bit of walking on this workshop, if you are a beginner in photography you may wish to book one of my other heather workshops which spends more time on camera and visits more locations. You are more than welcome to join on this workshop though if it sounds your bag and we can talk about photography and the technical side of things while walking but I just wanted you to be aware upfront that this is designed for people who may have little more knowledge with their camera but are looking to expand the distance for the locations they visit.Upon booking, you will be sent an order confirmation email which includes meeting details, kit-list, discount codes and a questionnaire for you to fill out. This questionnaire just allows me to get information about you so I can plan the day appropriately for the whole group.Throughout the day we will look at techniques such as focusing, using a tripod, use of filters vs exposure blending, composition, working with the light and more.I am more than happy to discuss other more advanced techniques on 1-2-1 basis as well as to the group, depending on what is beneficial.The day is tailored around you as much as possible and I strive to give each of you on the course for that day the best day possible. At the end of the day, you will have hopefully learnt new techniques and taken away some imagery you will be proud of. I am a friendly and relaxed tutor and I welcome you to keep in touch with me after the course to ask me any questions you may have looked over on the day. I have also created a Facebook client area where you can keep in touch, share your photos and keep in touch with other attendees from the day.There will be a maximum group size of 4 meaning there will be plenty of 1-2-1 time. I will be on hand throughout the day for any questions and my focus will be on ensuring you have the best day possible.There is a £40 deposit required to secure your place on this workshop with the balance due no later than 6 weeks before the workshop.Additional information
