, ,Photographing Water and Landscapes at Padley Gorge. The light and conditions at this time of year generally make for some beautiful images around Padley Gorge and the surrounding areas, creating myriad opportunities to capture stunning shots of fast-moving water in the most picturesque surroundings.
In this workshop, you will learn how to create and expose for those stunning ‘smooth water’ images, how to use polarising and ND filters, and we will also look at the art of composition and how to best capture the surroundings of Padley Gorge.
There will be a Zoom presentation in the week leading up to the workshop, which is usually on a Tuesday evening, and the practical part of the workshop, which lasts around three and a half hours, will take place in the morning at Padley Gorge. There will be plenty of time on the day to review your images; however, you can also opt for a short personal review over Zoom. Joining instructions will be emailed to you around a week beforehand, so you know where to meet, what time, and what to bring.
Filters are provided for you on the day; however, you will need a tripod to make the most of this workshop.
