Landscape Photography Workshops Ireland - New Dates

We are pleased to announce further dates to our workshop schedule in April and May. For the first time we will be breaking our Dublin workshops in to two skill levels: Beginners and Intermediate. As our Wicklow workshops are still conducted by Ed and Peter Gordon we can cater to all skill levels as there will be even more time for individual attention during the weekend.

Dublin Beginners Course - April 18th

Our beginners course will take participants through the basics of digital photography by starting from the beginning and simply introducing more advanced issues around lighting, metering and filtration.This course will provide a great opportunity to learn the following:

 - F stops and shutter speed, what does it all mean?

- Depth of Field - Sharpness from Front to Back

- ISO - What does it do and how do changes in ISO affect my images

- Why shoot in Raw mode? Difference in file format: JPG and TIFF

- White Balance and my Camera's Histogram

- Introduction to Understanding the Importance of Lighting Angles and Landscape Filters - Neutral Density and Polariser

- Basic Photoshop Editing

Wicklow Weekend Workshops - April 4/5th and May 9/10th

Our Wicklow weekend workshops are open to all skill levels as both Ed and Peter lead these two day events giving ample time for individual attention. Like our Dublin workshops our Wicklow classes are focused on learning many of the techniques described above. The crucial difference is that we will be surrounded by the beautiful Wicklow mountains, a region Peter has explored in great detail. The weekend will be spent teaching participants the techniques needed (see above) to make great landscape imagery while enjoying our stunning surroundings for sunrise and sunset shoots.

 This is an opportunity to become immersed in nature for two days while learning the photographic and digital skills required to take great pictures when the workshop has finished.
