Sunrise and Long Exposure Workshop

Sunrise and long exposure workshop Thursday 16th January 7.20am – approx 2pm. Plus an optional zoom session on Wednesday 22nd at 7pm to discuss everyones images.

Join me for a 7 hour photography workshop exploring 2 different coastal locations situated on opposite sides of Harwich harbour –  Dovercourt Bay and Felixstowe.

The workshop begins at dawn in Dovercourt Bay where we will spend some time photographing the low lighthouse. The workshop is timed for sunrise at low tide so there will be a good range of elements to use in our foregrounds including wooden groynes, sand patterns and tidal pools.

From Harwich we will travel to Landguard Point in Felixstowe where there will be opportunities to experiment with long exposure using the old pier and the wooden structures in front of the docks.

The workshop will finish at Cobbold Point where we can use the iconic breakwaters at high tide to practice our long exposure photography.

The workshop will focus on the use of filters for capturing the early morning colour as well as working with some long exposure photography. I have a selection of Lee Filters which are available to borrow for the duration of the workshop so please request this option when booking.

During the workshop we will also explore the art of composition as well as experimenting with long exposure photography.

There is an hour drive between Dovercourt and Landguard Point. When we arrive we will stop in the cafe for breakfast before continuing with the workshop.

What you need

This workshops assumes some basic knowledge of your camera controls. You will need to bring your camera and a lens suitable for wider landscapes, a tripod and a cable release.  If you have graduated filters and ND filters these will be useful for sunrise work and long exposures but if not I have filters sets which can be borrowed for the duration of the workshop. If you have any questions about kit prior to booking please don’t hesitate to contact me

My Sunrise and Long Exposure Workshop is a small group workshop run with a maximum of 4 participants so ensuring plenty of individual tuition. I also provide a set of digital notes to accompany the workshop which I send out before the day.

Participants are invited to submit their favourite images for comments and feedback after the workshop.
