Discover the secrets of perspective in a range of landscape scales - from mountains and glens to forests and water.
Springtime provides superb photographic opportunities as the hues in the glens change and the snow gradually thaws from the high mountain tops. With new leaves and fresh growth on the trees, this is a magical time for landscape photographers.
Not only will we have wide open vistas but the River Affric is one of the central features of the day, providing us with opportunities to expand the photographic potential. Use the river as a backdrop, freeze the motion, slow it down to silky smoothness, capture the mood or display the power - there is plenty of scope here.

I offer tuition in landscape photography techniques; from scenic viewpoints to capture the sense of location and place, to more discrete settings to further refine your techniques. We'll use perspective and viewpoints to explore creative composition.

My photography workshops will always advise you on the best ways to capture great images in camera but did you know that to achieve professional grade results, digital photography relies on post processing?

You're in the comfort of your own home, at your own PC and we will work through a programme tailored to your requirements. All you need are some images you&rsquo;d like to process, a copy of Adobe Lightroom and your laptop or desktop computer.
We&rsquo;ll run through the editing workflow and I can run the workshop as a single session or a series of sessions &ndash; the choice is completely yours.
Please email or call for further details and to make your booking &ndash; it&rsquo;s a great way to spend the winter evenings and to hone your processing skills during the winter, ready for the return of lighter evenings!
