Join Nikon School for an exciting and immersive week long Landscape and Astro photography workshop on the spectacular North Devon coastline. From our base at a fantastic boutique hotel which is walking distance to the rugged North Devon coastline, we will be exploring the landscapes around North Devon whilst teaching you how to shoot great landscape and Astro images using mirrorless cameras and lenses.
On this workshop, we will spend the days visiting the stunning locations to be found in North Devon and the surrounding areas. Neil and Ricci will be on hand to guide you through the correct camera settings and composition setups to make the most of the beautiful locations and will be covering techniques such as sunrise and sunset photography, shooting long exposures, using filters, optimising your image composition and much, much more to ensure you get pin sharp images.
In the evenings, we will also (weather permitting) shoot Astro images of the milky way as the galactic core rises above the horizon.
We have exclusive access to a lovely boutique hotel for the duration of this workshop which will be a great opportunity to meet other like minded photographers and enjoy a dinner and drink together.

Despite the absence of Astro opportunities, Ricci extended delegates on the Landscape exercises, forcing us to try multiple different long exposure settings, challenging us on composition, and providing technical help that opened up new opportunities. Tasks such as photographing a single tree, or chasing the tide, evolved into real learning experiences. The fire-spinning, whilst proving a good distraction when waiting for the weather to clear, was enjoyed by all.
