AYSGARTH FALLS - Arguably Yorkshire's most stunning waterfalls - we'll photograph the three-stepped waterfalls and by mid October the autumn leaves will only add to the stunning scenery, giving us lots of opportunities to take fantastic photos. We'll teach you how to freeze and blur the fast-moving water and you'll learn all about composition, exposure, using ND filters to create dramatic photographs. Filters are provided for you to use on the day. A tripod is essential and we have some available to borrow, please make a note on the booking form. To prepare you for the day we hold a Zoom Presentation a few days before (usually the Wednesday around 6.30pm). The Zoom session is recorded for those who can't make it and anyone who wants a refresher. We will then meet up at Aysgarth for the practical part of the workshop which will be about 3 and a half hours starting at 9am. Finally, everyone will have the option of sending me some of their pictures from the day and have a personal photo review over Zoom. Read More
