Northern Ireland - 2 Day Photography Masterclass

2016 dates to be confirmed - soon

Where

Enniskillen is an historic town about 1.5 hour's drive from Belfast and Londonderry. Located on a natural island that separates upper and lower Lough Erne, it even boasts it's own castle which reflects in the lake waters.

Day 1 we'll make several forays out to shoot practical exercises then have feedback in the conference room.

Day 2 will be all hands on training as we do a photo walk in and around Enniskillen.

Accommodation

Accommodation is not included because everyone will have different needs. However the Belmore Court hotel / conference center have done us a special rate of Bed and Breakfast for £45 per person per night (double / twin share) with a £30 per night single supplement. This is only available to people attending this Masterclass. Details of how to claim this special room rate are included in the information sheet you download after checkout.

There are many alternative place to stay available via Google search if you prefer to book elsewhere.

What are we doing?

We'll be exploring what is meant by 'good' and 'bad' photos, doing some exciting creativity exercises and some feedback on your images. Oh yes - nearly forgot, we'll be taking lots of photos too!

Check out the itineraries page to see in more detail what we do on a masterclass.

Who's it for?

Masterclasses are suitable for beginners, enthusiast and advanced photographers looking to expand their creativity and thinking. You don't have to have a DSLR, but a camera with interchangeable lenses and the ability to control exposure and aperture will certainly help.

To ensure everyone understands the basics and we can all hit the ground running I'll give you a bit of homework and an itinerary / schedule when you book.

What will I learn?

Weather

Obviously we are all at the mercy of the weather so itineraries cannot be set in stone. Whatever the weather there are always images to be captured. Bring waterproof clothing, a clear plastic bag and elastic band for your camera and an umbrella is also a good idea too, just in case...

Ten People Max

We need a minimum of 7 participants booked by (dates TBC) for this workshop to be confirmed. Please book now but Do Not Arrange Travel / Accommodation until I confirm on (TBC). If the workshop has to be cancelled you will be refunded in full.

Some homework before you come

The Homework / Prep page has a few specially chosen videos for you to watch and ensure you have a basic understanding of camera controls in advance. This ensures we go straight to work and everyone gets the most out of our location and the training because we won't waste time on things that could have been looked into beforehand.

If someone doesn't know what is meant by 'aperture' or 'ISO' and they don't know where to find it, I either have to spend time explaining and searching for it in their menus and settings whilst other participants stand around and wait, or leave that person not knowing what we're talking about and consequently missing out.

You don't need to be an expert - you just need a few basics.
