SNOWDONIA PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP IN CWM IDWAL
 
A Snowdonia photography workshop and photo walk in Cwm Idwal amidst the Glyderau and Carneddau mountain ranges, the glacial lakes of Llyn Idwal and Llyn Ogwen and the impressive Ogwen Falls. 
  • Local landscape photographer

  • A workshop for beginners or anyone looking to further develop their landscape photography.

  • Course includes camera controls, use of filters, gear choice, advice on composition.

  • 1-2-1 time for each participant during the day. 

  • Gift vouchers available if you're booking as a present for someone.

  • Maximum 6 in a group to ensure everyone gets the best support on the day

The workshop involves walking approx 4 miles stopping at different viewpoints along the way. Please note that paths are rocky and uneven and we make a steady ascent of 300ft to a viewpoint above the lake. Workshop participants do require a reasonable level of fitness and mobility. Due to the terrain unfortunately the workshop is unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Snowdonia Workshops - more details:

What time does the workshop start/finish?

  • The Snowdonia workshop begins at 8.00am and finishes at 2.00pm (The early start helps avoid parking issues and we have the scenery to ourselves for a while before most visitors arrive)

What do you need to bring with you?

  • Camera/lenses/Spare memory card/batteries/tripod - A digital camera with "semi-automatic/manual" controls (Aperture and Shutter priority) is recommended to get the most from the course.
     
  • Filters (if you have them)
     
  • A packed lunch/snacks
     
  • The relevant user manual for your camera
     
  • Warm/waterproof clothing and suitable footwear - weather can be unpredictable all year round in Snowdonia.
     
  • A notepad and pen
     

What is NOT included in the Snowdonia workshop?

A packed lunch, accommodation, insurance. I recommend you consider obtaining suitable personal insurance to cover both your equipment and travel.
 

What happens in bad weather?

I monitor weather forecasts and if conditions are predicted to be completely unsuitable, to ensure both your safety and enjoyment of the day, it may be necessary to cancel a workshop. I will endeavour to provide at least 24hrs notice, although this cannot always be guaranteed; you will be offered either a full refund or a place on a future course.

By booking you are confirming your acceptance of the "TERMS & CONDITIONS". (Terms & conditions - please read)

 

Coronavirus information

I monitor the latest Government guidance and workshops will only go ahead if it's safe to do so, the wellbeing of participants is my No.1 priority. As the workshops take place entirely outdoors we're in the safest place to be but workshop numbers are limited to small groups of 6 participants which helps facilitate social distancing during the day and makes things more enjoyable and comfortable for everyone.

If i find it necessary to cancel a workshop participants will have the choice of transferring to a future date, receiving a voucher valid for 18months or a full refund, whichever is preferred. If you’re unable to attend due to coronavirus restrictions, or related health reasons, I’ll supply you with an 18 month voucher valid for use on any future Snowdonia workshop.
