What to Expect

We will meet at Peacocks Petrol Station  at 7.30am. The workshop will finish up at about 4.30pm, just after sunset.

From there you can join me in my 9 seater shuttle bus for the duration of the workshop. From there we will head for sunrise (8.30am). After sunrise we can go for breakfast somewhere along the way before continuing with the workshop.

I won’t decide shooting locations until a day or two before to see how the weather is closer to the time.

This 1-2-1 workshop is built around you and an intense day of photography ensures maximum learnings for you. Whether your a beginner or advanced photographer, there will be plenty to learn and we can target specific areas of your photography you feel the need to improve most.

Please note: In the event of bad weather forcing us to cancel the workshop, this is obviously out of our control but you will be issued with a credit code for the full amount paid to be used on any future workshop with BG Landscape Tours.

 

Learnings

You will learn about shooting in manual mode, slow shutter speed, ISO settings, Aperture priority, the use of filters, why the polariser filter is so important and learning to get the best compositions (thinking outside the box)

You will also learn the use of sunrise, sunset & astro planning apps.

Equipment

You will need a DSLR with manual mode, a sturdy tripod, grad, polariser & ND filters.

I would strongly recommend a wide angle and zoom lens (24-105 and/or 70-200) lens for this workshop.

Full frame Wide Angle: 12-24mm or 16-35mm etc…

Crop sensor Wide Angle: 10-20mm or 11-16mm etc… (I do have a few spares just in case)

You will also need good walking shoes, wellies, head torch, warm clothes, waterproof clothes and a shower cap (to put over camera in rain)

If you need some loan filters for the workshop please let me know well in advance of the trip here

Why book with us?

YES YES, The rumours are true… We do have a knack of getting our groups in the right place at the right time, ensuring you capture a truly memorable shot you can cherish for the rest of your life. To us, capturing “the shot” is important but just as important is to enjoy the experience, when we get to a location take a minute to breath in the fresh air and really appreciate the views around us.

Not convinced?

When you book a trip with us, you get to sit back and relax. while we do all the driving. For our Irish workshops we have our very own Volkswagen 9 seater shuttle bus. The bus is a long wheel base, full air conditioned, extremely spacious and has ample USB charging points. On our tours abroad we also mostly book 9 seater buses and with groups no bigger than 5 or 6, ensures plenty of space and comfort!

Still not convinced?

Thanks to our amazing sponsors Whelan Cameras, 53 Degrees North & Formatt Hitech Camera Filters we have spare equipment like tripods, gore-tex jackets and pants and plenty of spare filter holders, filters and even shower caps to keep the camera dry during showers. All this equipment is readily available on our Irish workshops, should you need anything on an international trip, please just email us here to arrange this.
