Glencoe - A Photographer’s Paradise
Have you always wanted to capture the iconic Landscapes around Glencoe? But have never been sure where to go? or wanted to capture the stunning scenery you’ve seen In the James Bond Skyfall film?
On this Glencoe photography workshop, we will visit some of Scotland’s finest and famous scenery. I will show you how I use COKIN Filters to dramatically help the proper exposure of images first time. Along with tips on how to create creative long exposures.
I am offering the opportunity to join me on a journey which will take you to the most iconic landscape in the British Isles.
During the 5 days, I’ll be teaching various techniques and methods of work including landscape composition – using lead-in lines, rule of thirds, also the use of ND filters and Graduation filters.
Dramatic Beauty Around Every Corner
With more history, drama and sheer natural ability to entertain than really seems fair, Glencoe is without doubt one of the world’s scenic highlights. But the famous pass is only the beginning and there are wonders to discover around every corner in the whole area.

Spare battery’s - you really don't want to run out – always have a spare if possible!
Filter’s – Not a requirement but something we could look at before you buy. I have filters at hand for you to try.
Memory Cards – Ensure you have a high capacity memory card or a good supply of smaller ones!!
SHUTTER RELEASE CABLE - These are quite cheap to purchase if you don’t already have one and are definitely a good idea as they lessen the chance of camera shake and blurred photo’s.

LAPTOP – We will usually have some opportunity during the workshop to look at some ‘post processing’ in Lightroom so it would be a good idea to bring you laptop if you have one.
