Sea Caves, Shipwrecks and the Rocky Shore

On Thursday 5th July, somewhere on the North Devon Coast, 10am - 5pm I'm offering a new workshop 'Sea Caves, Shipwrecks and the Rocky Shore'. I'll be introducing the handful of participants to my own photography. They'll get the opportunity to experience the secret coast, hidden at the far ends of a sandy beach, full of caves and shipwrecks. And learn how to make the best of their own camera under demanding landscape and lighting.

5th of July is a spring tide, an extreme high and low; low tide being approximately 2pm. This will give us the chance to really explore parts of the rocky shore that is usually under 25 feet of water! - all for only £50 !!

Here's a list of the other photographic workshops I'm offering this summer:
