Last weekend was the first of this year’s series of Capture2computer workshops that I run as part of Joe Cornish Galleries Training based in Northallerton.
Capture2computer Workshop - Whitby, March 2010
This two-day residential workshop commenced on Saturday morning with a small talk on the fundamentals of Landscape photography by Pro photographer and good friend, Steve Lewis ARPS. Around mid-morning we set off towards Whitby and Saltwick Bay, our destination for the day.
After the usual scramble down onto the shore at Saltwick, Steve set about explaining the purpose & correct use of using graduated filters as well as spending individual time with Adam, Charlie, Pat, Steve & Tom.
After lunch we made our way into Whitby itself where participants were encouraged to spend time with composition working the area around the 199 steps. All week I had been keeping an eye on the weather forecast but it seemed we were going to be fated with an overcast day. As it happened though, we were blessed with a few minutes of lovely light and a deep red sunset which finished off a great day of learning.
The following day participants returned to the gallery where we discussed & critiqued images made on day one before working on some of them in Photoshop in the IT suite. Images from this two day event can be seen in the Photo Gallery here.
Anyone interested in our holistic photography workshops should check the Capture2computer pages of this website for full details.
I’d like to thank Steve and all the participants for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and hope you all keep in touch! For more details about Steve, check out his website Landscapes of Wales.
Kind Regards,
Mark.
