The daily programme will usually consist of Instruction and practical in the mornings and assignments/tutoring in the afternoon.
The October workshop has a bias towards Landscape photography, so stout footwear and waterproof clothing are required.
If anyone who is due to take part in the workshop has particular items/subjects that they wish to cover we will do our best to address these however I know time will be short but we will do our best.
There is unfortunately no IT provision at the Green Park but I will be bringing some of my own equipment to demo on. The emphasis on this course is on camera skills rather than computer skills. However I am more than happy if you wish to bring your own Laptop and of course your camera gear.
David is based in Pitlochry Perthshire and is an Associate Member of the British Institute of Professional Photography,
