9 – 4 pm

JOIN US FOR A DAY LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP IN THE STUNNING PEAK DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK WITH CHRIS NOWELL PHOTOGRAPHY.

At 9 am we will begin with a general conversation to get to know each other at the Barn. Before familiarising ourselves with the cameras and some basic camera skills.
Next we will take the short 30 minute drive parking by the side of the road ready to photograph the waterfalls woodlands and nature of Padley Gorge.

After lunch we will walk up to Surprise View Corner, stopping if we have time at Lawrence Field to look at the Silver birch trees. Then on to Millstone Edge which offers fantastic views overlooking Hathersage and the Peak District National Park.

Finally we will slowly make our way to the top of Owler Tor just before sunset. This will give you lots of time to put into practice all the teaching points of the day.
