Course Contents

Working in a small group we will spend the days visiting the stunning locations to be found in North Devon and the surrounding areas. Neil or Ricci will be on hand to guide you through the correct camera settings and composition setups to make the most of the beautiful surroundings. We will be covering techniques such as long exposures, using filters, image composition and focusing techniques 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 in the evening.

Latest course reviews...

Flexible and enjoyable

This felt like a social event but still worked in a lot of shooting and a lot of learning. Ricci was flexible to adapt the course to meet the needs of the attendees. The venue is perfect having shooting opportunities within short enjoyable strolls from the accommodation. As special mention should be made about the accommodation as it is close to idea with the proprietor (Will) understanding and taking care of the specific needs of a photography group coming and going at all hours.
