Additional Information

Included
Transport is provided from an arranged meeting point (this can be in Buttermere where they have parking or Keswick where they have public transport) and between locations we travel too. We typically stop for at least an hour for lunch at a cafe or public house where we can review images and I can give you a short lesson with Adobe RAW. I can also let you use my filter kit depending on the adaptor ring size that fits your lens.

Excluded
Travel to and from the agreed meeting point, lunch and accommodation, personal insurance.

What to Bring
The weather plays a big part in landscape photography, so please bring suitable outdoor clothing and footwear for walking off-road. A rucksack is recommended and of course, bring your camera (and if applicable separate lenses), spare batteries and memory cards, a tripod of reasonable quality and a remote release if you have one. Also, please bring a head torch if you have one, I do have a spare but best to be prepared. (please also bring a face mask/covering for travel, thank you).





Some recent reviews from people that have been on my bespoke workshops,

"I had a 1:1 targeted workshop with John during which I learnt a couple of fundamental approaches to composition that do not appear in any of the books I've read or have been demonstrated on any of the other courses I have attended.
I now see differently and am able to capture images that I am happy to show. I'd recommend a similar workshop to anyone who is frustrated that their images just don't have that "wow!" despite following "all the rules"

"I just completed a one day 1:1 workshop with John in the Peak District, and it was fantastic. The locations we visited were superb, John having tailored these to the prevailing weather conditions and times of the day. John very successfully matched the workshop tutorials to my needs and I have undoubtedly taken big steps forward in my own photography, which feels fantastic. I particularly enjoyed - and benefitted from - a focus on the composition of my images, which has immediately lifted their quality. John is also really easy to get on with and his enthusiasm for photography is infectious. I would highly recommend a workshop with him. All the best John, and cheers again!"

"I Went on one of Johns workshops a few weeks ago after I bought a new camera I learnt so much in one day and finally feel at ease with the camera. Highly recommended"
