When I first started offering photography workshops I wasn't too sure how much I would really enjoy it. Over the past few years running various photography courses in Yorkshire, I've learnt a lot and met many new people. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy spending these days with like minded people, creating images within some of the best scenery in the U.K. The following images were taken on a landscape workshop in Ribblesdale in the Yorkshire Dales. We visited three locations during the day - each one with a completely different feel, demanding different techniques. The limestone pavement was shot at Winskill near Langthwaite, a cracking location high above the valley with a classic lone hawthorn tree.
Down in the valley at Stainforth Force, I did something I never do. I had a go with some black and white! Now, I don't think I will ever be an Ansel Adams, but it's good to experiment; move out of your comfort zone, and try something different. That's one of the things about doing workshops - it often prompts you to be a little more creative, and I do believe that all photographers can only benefit from watching others and how they work...
Tyhe last shot to me looks berrter witht he far bank cut off. Its too busy with it me thinks. Square looks good too.
