Workshop information;

Discover the wonderful and hidden beauty of South Lakeland and the historic village of Grasmere. We will spend some time exploring the area, concentrating on the stunning views, lake and surrounding woods. Starting at the historic Rydal Mount, the home of William Wordsworth in his later years...then, pausing for a well earned lunch at the gorgeous 'Potting shed cafe' within Grasmere garden centre,( they serve simply scrumptious jam & cream scones!) After lunch we will visit 'White Moss' and finally explore the hidden and atmospheric 'Penny Rock wood'.

A perfect time to get to grips with your Tripod or Camera kit and experiment with different shutter speeds, apertures and lens ...or simply enjoy the views and make friends with like-minded creative individuals !

You will get to experiment with your camera settings, nothing is rushed. Students are encouraged to take their time, experiment and make a connection with their surroundings. Creative composition, how light can bring an image to life, exposure and manual settings( depending on individual knowledge).

You may want to make a weekend of it? There are some lovely b&b's near by in Rydal Mount, Grasmere and nearby Ambleside, we can recommend several places we have stayed in previously.
