This three hour workshop is centred on the old fishing village of Newlyn, with its docks, piers and still working fishing fleet. Newlyn's special light is one of the reasons it became home to an important art colony many years back. We will explore the granite lanes of this seafaring community as well as boats at rest on the water, with their reflections, patina and rust. The busy harbour area full of piled fish crates, ropes and buoys offers many photographic subjects. You will experiment with composition, leading lines and the rule of thirds and be encouraged to think about complementary colours and abstract details. Camera settings for different types of light and subject matter will be provided. This workshop is for lovers of photography as well as all those who also enjoy walking and conversation by the sea"

Nature has something to offer in every season. In the winter its the stark poetry of trees, the soft light, and the atmospheric shapes of clouds. Winter allows us to compose our images thoughtfully. Shadows and glimmers, the mulch of fallen leaves, the texture of a bare branch: all these things can become strong compositions. This workshop will provide deeper understanding of aperture, iso and shutter speed as we experiment with different styles of shooting. We will create a landscape 'story' - composed from still-life and large ensemble elements. Come and enjoy a photography walk in crisp winter air and experience this magical season in the park.
