Mastering Exposure and Control
Through practical demonstrations and guided exercises you’ll move beyond auto modes to control aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and learn metering, white balance and the benefits of shooting RAW.
Practice Across Easily Accessible Locations
The workshop explores a series of locations chosen specifically to demonstrate different photographic techniques—composition, depth of field, and working with different lenses—without requiring strenuous walking; locations are reached by minibus.
Sunset, Dusk and Long Exposures
The day culminates in dedicated low‑light and long‑exposure work at sunset and dusk; the format is designed so the second session begins roughly three and a half hours before sunset to maximise evening light practice.
