The
course is based at our Dover learning centre in the grounds of Astor
College for the Arts. This puts us within a short distance of some
amazing photographic opportunities, such as:
The White Cliffs of Dover
– Practice your photography on a true icon of the British
Isles. Strikingly tall cliffs of brilliant white chalk, accentuated
by streaks of black flint. Plenty of rare and fauna and flora
to hone your skills in all types of photography
Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens
– Parks with shimmering lakes enrobed in tree’s and
forestry, with plenty of Wild Fowl in their natural habitat. Opportunities
to take stunning photographs of the winding lakes through the
ruins of the Abbey. In May we will also visit a delightful Bluebell
woodland.
Coastal villages –
We will discover locations for awe-inspiring photography panning
across the English channel. The opportunity will be there to take
photographs of the coastal front, fishing boats, rock pools, lobster
pots and many other scenes steeped in history.
Back at the Astor College centre
and throughout the trip, you will learn:
•
Expert camera control, allowing you to take crisp, life-like
images.
• Creative use of shutter speed and image composition.
• Depth of field judgement
• Image manipulation using photoshop
These lessons
will give you an opportunity to hone your photography skills and
help you take photographs like expert. You will be able to use
your abilities and leave the course with some truly memorable,
awe-inspiring photographs of your own creation.
As with most coastal regions the weather can be changeable we
recommend walking boots and waterproof clothing. Most digital
cameras are only water resistant so we would strongly suggest
rain covers for your camera.
