Perfect for beginners or enthusiasts, using cameras or camera-phones.
Please note this is an outdoor workshop.
Itinerary
Paul will give a brief introduction covering: his photographic experience; how he got into wildlife photography; and his methods for creating impactful photos of nature.
We'll then head along North Berwick Beach. Paul will highlight what makes this coastline special for wildlife and photography, and share 2 or 3 core teachings for the session.
Paul will give a live demonstration with a close-by subject, to demonstrate these ideas.
Everyone will have time to put these ideas into practice, whilst receiving regular group and 1-on-1 guidance from Paul.
After the workshop, attendees are welcome to send Paul their images for feedback.
