Landscape Workshop London/Battersea (July 2024)

Capture the essence of London in one unforgettable journey! Join me for a picturesque photography workshop that will take you on a visual odyssey through iconic landmarks and hidden gems. We'll kick off our adventure at the historic Westminster Bridge, where the majestic Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster provide the perfect backdrop for your shots.

As we meander through St. James's Park, you'll have the opportunity to capture the serene beauty of lush greenery, shimmering lakes, and charming wildlife amidst the bustling cityscape. Our journey reaches its crescendo with the breathtaking sunset spectacle at Buckingham Palace, where the golden hues paint a mesmerising portrait of royalty and elegance.

Finally, we'll conclude our expedition with a visit to the iconic Battersea Power Station, passing through the bustling Victoria Station along the way. A shot of the railway lines, with Battersea Power Station in the background, it offers a unique and captivating subject for your lens.

Meet me at the Sea Life Aquarium (what3words: keep.handed.bumpy) to embark on this unforgettable photographic voyage through London's heart and soul. Let's capture memories that will last a lifetime!

What's included;

• A tour from Westminster Bridge, Horseguards Parage, St Jame's Park, Sunset at Buckingham Palace (20:55) and then on to Battersea Power Station (via Victoria). And any other location that suits.
• The workshop will cover Landscape Settings, Introduction to HDRs (Bracketing), Introduction to Filters, introduction to Long Exposures, introduction to Panoramas, introduction to Time-Lapses and anything else the participants want to discuss.
• Tuition and guidance provided throughout the event, on both a one to one and group basis, to maximise your potential.
• You leave with full understanding of the settings used and have the ability to replicate the same elsewhere (including editing techniques).

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 at a premium in London. the nearest station to the Sea Life Aquarium is Waterloo. But we will finish the Workshop near to Battersea Power Station (Closest station is Victoria).

We will be walking about a lot, and it may get cold, so wear appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes.
