Infra-red in Wiltshire
30 June - 3 July
( 4 days, 3 nights. 7 spaces max)
Many landscape photographers tend to shun the summer for making images. The light is a bit harsh, the colours too bright, the blue sky is slightly featureless. But that is of course just the right conditions to try out infra red photography. So this 4 day course is designed to give photographers a chance to concentrate on making IR images in one of the most beautiful locations in the country: Wiltshire with its rolling chalk scenery with many high points topped by distinctive clumps of beech trees. We will be based between Devizes & Marlborough which will give us easy access to all of Wiltshire's beauty spots. We can photograph buildings: Lacock Abbey & its cloisters are close by, as are the thatched cottages of Lockeridge Dene; woodland and forest - Savernake Forest with its Grand Avenue; we will make a point of photographing Martinsell Hill with its lone Scots Pine. And of course, we will have ample opportunity to make images of the neolithic monuments - Stonehenge and Avebury, Britain's largest stone circle. The course will also cover IR post-processing to make sure we all know how to get the best out of those IR files. We will concentrate mostly on BW conversion, but it will be fun to try our hand at colour processing of IR too.
