Ingleton: Yorkshire Dales Photographic Waterfall Workshop 17th Sep 2016

This new photographic walking workshop, will explore the picturesque Yorkshire Dales village of Ingleton. The walk will follow the famous waterfall walk through the spectacular autumnal woods, as a basis for this workshop. But we will make the opportunity to deviate slightly from the waterfalls, to visit the internationally renowned and compositionally dramatic, limestone pavements above Ingleton. How far we go towards the dramatic peak of Ingleborough is up to the workshop participants and weather conditions. There will be plenty of opportunity to capture waters movement and experiment with different length exposures on this workshop, so don’t forget bring your ND filters and tripods.


Garlic Forest

What to expect on this photograph workshop?

You can expect to see lots of different waterfalls in beautiful autumnal woodland. Dramatic and scientifically unique limestone pavements. Graphic gnarled hawthorn trees protruding from the limestone pavements. Deep gorges and water eroded rocks. The local wildlife consists of squirrels, rabbits, badgers, foxes, stoats, Wesel’s, many birds including red kites, buzzards, and sparrow hawks to name but a few species. If we’re lucky the occasional Roe Dear.









Waterfall

The one day workshop structure -

A typical workshop day often includes tuition on the following subjects; camera set-up, live view and accurate focusing, of field preview, effective tripod setup, shooting manual, bespoke and one to one demonstrations of exposure, metering, and bracketing, focusing, depth of field (known as Hyperfocal distance). The creative uses of both shutter speed and apertures, use of filters, both exposure balancing (Neutral Density Graduated) and creative effects (Polarisers, Neutral Density). Whatever you’re understanding I assure you that I will help you advance both technically and creatively and ensure a bespoke learning experience depends on individual needs or requests.

Composition will form an important part of the workshop as its key to powerful images and there will be demonstrations, critiques and healthy discussions. Some topics we can cover; what makes a good image, the rules of composition, when to follow them and when to break them, how to win camera club competitions, use of depth, scale, texture, perspective, colour and psychology. Other popular topics of discussion include; location planning, lighting conditions, support material and communities, commercial work, Photoshop and, image philosophy.
