Lake District Photography Workshop & Tour

General admission

Scotland

<p class="">Scotland is a photographer&rsquo;s paradise. From epic mountains, striking castles, sweeping vistas to the lochs, rivers and seas, I travel across the country to bring Scotland to you. I love and have always loved Scotland, even before I called it home. Currently living amongst the rolling hills and farmland of South West Scotland but with an emotional draw to the deep Glens surrounded by towering mountains of the Highlands. The turbulent history and the uniqueness of its people all add to the mysterious nature of this amazing country.</p>
<p class="">But it is also a very big country and actually accounts for about one third of Britain. So, if you are lucky enough to be visiting Scotland and you want to photograph all the best places then I can help. I have excellent knowledge of most of the country, including some of the Islands.</p>
<p class="">I am available for 1 to 7 days. Pick up and drop off from Edinburgh and Glasgow can be arranged for a small additional cost. If you need accommodation then please let me know the you enquire. This photography tour is suitable for up to 3 people.</p>
<p class="">Please note that due to the nature of Scotland as a tourist destination accommodation costs vary dramatically over the year so I am unable to give prices instantly.</p>
<p class="">All travel will be done in a modern 4x4 vehicle so there is plenty of room for you and your equipment. On average, a tour day will consist last for 8 hours from the arrival of our first location.</p>
<p class="">Prices start at &pound;250 per day.</p>

Glen Coe Photography Workshop & Tour

Loch Lomond

<p>Join me on my easy accessibility Landscape Photography Tour centring on and around the world-famous Loch Lomond. This course has been designed to have minimal walking whilst still getting maximum value in terms of photographs and acquired knowledge. The tour is suitable for up to 3 individuals</p>
<p class="">Starting on the West Side of Loch Lomond, we will head up to the Falls of Falloch which is a great place to practice composition and long exposure. Then we will make our way South stopping at one or two beauty spots before stopping for lunch/dinner in Aberfoyle. A trip along Loch Ard, Chon and Arklet will follow before making our way to Inversnaid Falls. From Inversnaid Falls we will head back South to the famous Lone Tree for, hopefully, a beautiful sunset.</p>
<p class="">For those wishing to we can also include the famous Finnich Glen, otherwise known as the Devil&rsquo;s Pulpit from Outlander fame. Please note that this will include wading through a river and a tricky descent down in to a gorge so a higher level of fitness is required. Please let me know when booking if this is something you want to include.</p>
<p class="">This course has been designed for maximum accessibility and as such a low level of fitness is needed although there may be a couple of places where you need to scramble to to get the best vantage point this is obviously optional. Please wear appropriate footwear and bring waterproof clothing. Due to the nature of the course I advise bringing a packed lunch.</p>
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1606827609717_2332" class="">Each workshop will commence approximately 7.5 hours before sunset and end just after sunset.</p>

<div>Are you curious about woodwork but not sure where to start?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Do you want to make beautiful, tactile wooden objects but don&rsquo;t know the techniques or processes required to take an idea and transform it into high-end, saleable, object?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Based in Aston, Birmingham, this taster weekend is suitable for both beginners with no experience, as well as those with some knowledge that want to explore woodworking further.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Our kitchen utensils weekend is designed to give you a taste of all the basic woodworking steps needed to take a project from start to finish. The goal being that you leave the weekend confident you can continue practicing on your own projects at home.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It is worth noting that our course is likely different to the other wooden utensil courses you may have seen, as we opt for dry rather than green wood - we also don&rsquo;t mind using the odd power tool here and there.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>So why we do we used dry wood rather than green?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Green wood is far softer and therefore easier to use when it comes to traditional hand carving. However, due to the high moisture content of green wood it also means that pieces need to be dried before they can be completely finished &ndash; which can take weeks if not months.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>During our time with us, we want to introduce you to as many techniques and processes as we can &ndash; this coupled with the fact that we come from a commercial carpentry background where speed and efficiency are not only desirable but necessary basically puts green wood out of the picture.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Not only will we teach you the skills needed to carve and sculpt with with dry wood but we will also talking you through the finishing processes and by the end of the weekend you will have a fully refined piece/s.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In order to achieve this goal we are more than happy to use power tools where needed to get things done. &nbsp;It is worth considering the timeliness of techniques if your intention is to start a business with the skills you have learnt.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>All our courses are informal affairs but it&rsquo;s important to us that you walk away with both knowledge and skills that you can actually use. So, whilst all our courses have an outcome, our main priority is that you get a good grasp of the techniques. This is aided by the fact that our class sizes are limited to a maximum of 4 people.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Course Breakdown:</div>
<div>&bull; Health &amp; safety in the workshop&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Discussion on Form vs Function &ndash; this will help inform your designs&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Pros &amp; Cons of Kiln-dried vs Green Wood</div>
<div>&bull; Rough out Shapes &amp; Profiles on Bandsaw</div>
<div>&bull; Different carving techniques both traditional &amp; modern&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Sanding &amp; finishing &ndash; we will also show you how to make an oil and wax&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; finish and give you a pot to take home.</div>
<div>&bull; Polishing &amp; Buffing&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Discuss how these skills are transferable to other projects.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Laser engraving onto your utensils &ndash; If you&rsquo;re interested in engraving&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; designs on to your items we can show you how. &nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Information &amp; Data sheets for you to continue making from home.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We hope this has answered most of your questions, however if there is anything else you&rsquo;d like to know please don&rsquo;t hesitate to get in touch.&nbsp;</div>
