Durdle Door Sunrise Attempt & Lulworth Cove (Dec-2020)

The Jurassic Coast at it's best. This Landscape/Seascape workshop will get you up to scratch with the basics and some more advanced Photography. Gaining experience as well as a great set of portfolio grade images.

This is a 2-part workshop - you'll have the option to attend one, or the other, or as a discount, you can choose both together. 

The first part will start at Durdle Door (meet at the top of the Door Steps at 7:30am - https://what3words.com/bulge.sketch.central) - Sunrise is at 08:07, so we want to be in position on the beach for the sunrise (weather dependant - I can't guarentee a sunrise).

The second part will be at Lulworth Cove (Meet at the Car Park at 1pm - https://what3words.com/layover.bookshop.audit)

What happens on the day?

We will be looking at a variety of subject, including;

• Composition
• Rule of Thirds
• Focal Point (What's Your subject?)
• Basic Settings (starting point)
• Introduction to Filters
• Introduction to Long Exposures
• Introduction to HDR (bracketing)
• Introduction to Panoramas

This course is completely practical and these topics are delivered in a fun, enthusiastic and jargon-free style.

Who will be there on the day?

The training will be led by Andy Hornby. As a highly experienced, published photographer, he has a broad knowledge of all cameras to ensure you get the best from the day.

What do I need?

The topics covered, on this course, lead on perfectly from my Photography Level 2 Course, and as such, I have found this to be a popular next step. Although it is not a necessity, I do suggest that you have a good understanding of your camera, prior to the course, by being able to control Aperture, Shutter and ISO, as these topics will not be covered in great depth. 

What's included;

• Tuition and guidance provided throughout the course, to maximise your potential.
• You leave with full understanding of the settings used and have the ability to replicate the same elsewhere.

Essential Gear;

• Camera and lenses - doesn't matter what you have. I can work with most camera manufacturers (I use Canon and Sony - So I will know more about them). If you have a wide angle lens, that would be beneficial.
• Tripod - Definitely essential. most landscape images will require long exposure, You'll need something to stand it on to leave running.
• Filters - If you have any, bring them. If it's not dark enough and you want a long exposure, Bring an ND.

Not so essential gear;

• Off camera shutter release - this is beneficial (essential if you have to go over 30 sec exposure) as it is getting dark, you will need to up your shutter time.

Anything else is a bonus.

Parking is not free and you will need to pay in both car parks, so be prepared. 

Lulworth Cove Car Park - BH20 5RQ

Durdle Door Car Park - BH20 5PU (drive past the caravan site - Opens at 9am, so you will miss the sunrise if you park here).

I intend to park at Lulworth (get there for about 06:30) and walk to Durdle Door. My day will end at Lulworth, so it makes sense to park there. If you are doing both events, then I would suggest doing the same. But be prepared to walk the 1 mile treck over hills and far away! ;)

We will be walking very far, so comfortable clothng and shoes will be a necessity. Layers to stay warm and gloves would be advisable. oh and a torch!
