We plan to make a photographic trip by rented car from Dublin down through Waterford, Cork and wander around the Ring of Kerry on the Beara Peninsula, before heading up to Galway just in time for the annual Oyster Festival! We shall be staying in comfortable bed & breakfasts, and run our usual photography classes with emphasis on personal development and photographic style.

VENICE AT CARNIVAL Photography Workshop (Completed)
February, 16-19, 2012 (£375.00 + travel and accommodation)
This is a unique opportunity to photograph Venice during Carnevale. The low winter sun and the chilly air adds to the ambiance amongst the masked revelers, frilly dresses and costumes. Venice is transformed into a colourful medieval playground which is just waiting to be photographed. We will be staying in shared apartments in the Rialto area, and daily instruction will be given to produce a vision of Venice, in your own photographic style.

SLOW Photography Weekend : Isle of Wight
August 20-21, 2011 Completed (£250 + travel and accommodation)
Have you ever seen hoards of tourists busy snapping indiscriminately at every site they visit, photographers carrying tons of equipment strolling in the park, sniping away with their long lenses on continuous mode, point’n'shooters with their camera arms out-stretched aiming and mopping up everything they see like there is no tomorrow? Well, we have all heard of Slow Food, Slow Travel, now there’s Slow Photography. And that is precisely what we will be doing, with a weekend workshop in the glorious but quaint Isle of Wight.
To be immersed in photography seriously demands a lot of attention, which not many people can afford the time to do so. We are all so buried in work and new technology that the process have overtaken the why’s, and basic joys of manual photography. Filling up an 8 or 16GB memory card is far simpler than shooting 12 frames perfectly, on a roll of 120 film.
Bringing back precise composition, critical framing, and exposure control is what we intend to do, photographing breathtaking landscapes, chalk cliffs, escarpments, and nature. We will also visit the seaside towns of Shanklin and Ventnor on the southern coast, to photograph the beach paraphernalia, people, coloured huts, fishing vessels, tea houses and gifts shops that give these Victorian resorts their English charm.
