Who should attend
The workshop is open to anyone interested in photography whether you use a digital or film based SLR. Although the course is primarily aimed at those with an interest in garden, flowers & landscape photography, it would benefit anyone interested in improving their photography and camera technique. Gardens and flowers in particular are probably one of the most photographed and painted subjects of all time, botanical interest spanning centuries all over the world.

This course is designed not only to improve your understanding of the camera, but also your shooting, composition and lighting skills taking you to new levels of visual awareness, creativity, and basic technical ability. We will be making a field trip to a local garden of outstanding beauty (the entrance fee and transport to the garden are included in the course fee and a picnic lunch will be provided).
