North York Moors Landscape Photography Workshop
Join William Jones-Warner for a relaxed two-hour photography workshop exploring the landscapes of the North York Moors during the golden hour and sunset.
Rather than simply visiting a well-known viewpoint, this workshop is about learning to see the landscape. Together we will explore the moorland around Castleton, looking for compositions that capture the character, atmosphere and scale of the North York Moors. Whether the evening brings dramatic skies, soft light or misty conditions, you'll learn techniques to create compelling images in a range of weather and lighting conditions.
Suitable for photographers of all experience levels, the workshop combines practical camera tuition with creative guidance in the field. Whether you've recently bought your first camera or are looking to improve your landscape photography, the session is tailored to your level of experience.
Throughout the workshop William will provide one-to-one guidance on:
Finding compositions rather than simply photographing viewpoints
Using foreground interest, paths, dry stone walls, trees and natural layers to create depth
Working with changing evening light and exposing confidently as conditions evolve
Understanding aperture, shutter speed and ISO for landscape photography
Getting the most from your tripod
Using exposure bracketing to maximise dynamic range in high-contrast scenes
Creating strong images even when the sunset isn't spectacular
Photographing intimate landscapes, details and textures alongside wider scenic views
The pace is relaxed, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, refine compositions and develop confidence behind the camera.
A wide-angle to short telephoto lens is ideal, although photographers using any focal length are very welcome. Manual lens or auto focus lens are also welcome. I shoot on a mixture of both.
