Wrynose Pass & Duddon ‘Exploring Black and White Photography’ Southern Lake District

You will spend a full day from dawn until dusk with Paul learning how to make expressive and dramatic landscape images. Paul will explain how to obtain superb depth of field, accurate exposure and stunning composition in some of the most beautiful settings in the English Lake District, an area that Paul has photographed for many years.

The name Wrynose, comes from “pass of the stallion” and referred to the fact that the steep gradients needed a well-muscled horse to attain the top of this old Roman road. The Duddon Valley begins west of the Three Shires stone on Wrynose pass where the river heads south from Pike O’Blisco. In the west are Harter fell and the Ulpha fells; eastward are Dow crag and Coniston Old Man. Herdwick sheep roam the fells, and highland cattle graze near Cockley Beck. Red squirrel, buzzards, and peregrine falcon feel at home. Duddon Valley is tranquil and secluded with beautiful meadows and the River Duddon at its base which meanders towards the coast through a series of waterfalls.

This workshop is designed for both film and digital photographers at all levels aiming to produce monochrome images.

Workshops are available for 1 and 2 days. Please note that for the 'Exploring Black and White' workshops prices do not include accommodation or meals.
