No matter what your interest or level in photography there is something for everyone in Snowdonia and this is a great opportunity to explore the national park and learn how to shoot great landscape images with the Nikon School team. We will guide you through the correct camera settings to make the most of the beautiful surroundings; covering techniques such as long exposures, using filters, image composition and focusing techniques to ensure you get pin sharp images. Weather depending, you are also welcome to join us for a optional Sunrise and Sunset shoots and maybe even some Astro photography if the conditions allow

This is a great photography day where you can learn new skills, photograph amazing locations and photograph with like minded people as we take our small group around the National Park

Latest course reviews...

Wonderful, wet and windy Wales.

The weather was unsurprisingly rather challenging but in Neil and Ricci, however, we had two instructors who knew the area intimately and were able to guide us to locations where the light was most beneficial. They made a point of ensuring that they were on hand to give valuable guidance to everyone not just on settings but also composition. No matter how satisfied you were with your images, Neil and Ricci were able to make improvements even if only fine tuning.
