Do you need to recharge your batteries ,or simply need some time for yourself in a beautiful environment?
Come and learn how to use your camera to achieve dramatic winter photographs, to compose an image using the golden section, to choose the best exposure settings and to get the best angles to create great photographs.
Absolute beginners, beginners and more experienced photographers are all very welcome on this course.
Epping Forest has a huge range of ancient trees which provide fantastic photo opportunities. Besides this, the Forest provides inspiration and relaxation and is just the place to get to grips with your creative side.
Notes on the course:
Apart from your camera, spare batteries and cards, be sure to wear suitable clothing, gloves and outdoor shoes as the weather may vary. Bring waterproofs and warm winter clothing and if the forecast indicates rain be sure to carry plastic coverings for your camera as the wet can ruin the electronics. Hopefully the weather will be dry and you won't need these.
This course does not include an indoor venue for viewing images. If enough people are interested John has a studio in Waltham Abbey and may be able to arrange follow up courses to look at the work and even run further workshops.
The local Epping Forest Visitor Centre may be of interest, providing local maps and gifts. The local cafe and Kings Oak pub offer coffee and food. Toilet facilities are available in the car park, the Visitors Centre and the Pub.
A pub lunch is included in exchange for the £10 parking fee at the pub car park, however if the bill exceeds this then this will be charged on top. Please note this is not included in the course fee.
