Seascape Photography 23/01/22
Sunday was our seascape photography workshop with Peter, after a few delays due to the weather… With an experienced photographer, camera settings aren’t an important consideration to concentrate on so we spent some time looking at how to predict which waves are going to break obligingly and chatted about compositional techniques 🙂 Generische Medikamente können…

Bespoke seascape photography 15/11/21
Monday was a 1-2-1 seascape photography workshop for Louisa and we started with exposure time, aperture and ISO (if you’ve never used a mirrorless camera, it makes it so much easier to see the effect of changing settings before actually taking a photo). With a tide falling from high, new compositions were presenting themselves right…

Autumn colours workshop 14/11/21
Sunday was Sandra’s Autumn Colours photography workshop, which had been delayed for several reasons since 2019! We concentrated on exposure time, aperture and ISO settings as well as looking at composition, exploring how the angle of light can make a drastic change to the scene that’s in front of the camera and playing around with…

Going back to basics
NEWT having a period of hibernation, while we deal with another enforced lockdown, has been an interesting time. We’re walking every day (1.6 miles in a morning or at lunchtime, then 6-10 miles on both Saturday and Sunday). Occasionally I’ll carry my big lens (150-600mm) with me, but mostly I prefer to travel light… Like…

The colour of light; Autumn Colours Photography Workshop 27/10/19
Sunday’s photography workshop was a guest short after a late rearrangement for one guest. I collected Sachin and Lucy from the Battlesteads and we headed to Cawfields Quarry. That wasn’t our original plan, but heavy rain meant needing to find a location that wouldn’t be treacherous underfoot. In just over 3hrs we covered exposure, focusing…

Atmospheric; Focus on Northumberland Day 3 19/02/18
Tuesday was the final full day of our Focus on Northumberland holiday and we were heading to the coast for a day of landscape photography… Blue skies and sunshine can be a bit overrated so the drizzle and fog offered something a bit different. Daniela had shown me some excellent photographs that she’d taken previously,…

Stoatally different; Beginners Photography Workshop 19/04/2015
Sunday afternoon was, thankfully, sunny and (reasonably…) warm for our NWT Beginners Photography Workshop. Once I’d found everyone near the entrance to the Druridge Bay visitor centre, we walked through to the feeding station hide at East Chevington. Reed Buntings, Goldfinches, Blue Tits and Great Tits were around the feeders, some remarkably shy Pheasants were…

Feeding time; Beginners Photography Workshop 28/02/2015
Saturday was the first of three ‘Beginners Wildlife Photography’ workshops that I’m leading for the Northumberland Wildlife Trust, and the morning had started grey and gloomy, progressed to sunny with beautiful blue skies by 09:00 and then was back at grey, gloomy and threatening to rain by the time the workshop started. After waiting a…
