Course Contents

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.

Latest course reviews...

Devon Astrophotography & Landscapes workshop

The workshop was excellent. Neil is a brilliant teacher who is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of photography. Neil presents everything in a very accessible way. He took us to well-chosen locations to maximise the photographic potential and I learnt a lot in the company of the other delegates on the course. Staying at The Smugglers Rest is always a fantastic experience. The proprietors Stacey and Will go out of their way to ensure that their guests have a pleasurable experience.
