We didn’t run a June Aysgarth workshop for the first few year of our workshops, preferring the early spring and autumn slots for a better chance of nice diffused light for the waterfalls. However, having tried it one year it’s been a firm favourite in the schedule ever since…
Our second Spring visit to Bolton Abbey and Strid wood was now upon us. Although the two workshops are just 4 weeks apart, the woodland changes dramatically. The Bluebells, although there are a few are still around have now made way for the vast carpets of Wild Garlic.
Our second workshop of the year brought about the long awaited return to Bolton Abbey in spring, after two years of missing out on the bluebells! A day of sunny intervals made the light challenging at times but we had some nice spells of cloud cover for photographing in Strid Wood and some good sunlight for photographing the abbey.
We have officially kicked off the 2022 workshop season with our Aysgarth Falls tour. As I remember previous years we have been through every type or weather in March, including the only workshop we have cancelled due to snow!! This year couldn’t of been more different with bright sunshine, sunburnt faces and clear blue skies. Lovely to walk in and view the glorious Yorkshire countryside, but very difficult to capture the waterfalls!
Our last workshop of a curtailed but rewarding workshop season took place at the weekend. As always, the season finale was taken enjoying the autumn colours in Strid Wood on our Bolton Abbey Autumn Workshop…
Our second workshop outing of 2021 and a return visit to Malham. The weather once again forecast as rain all day!!
We met up with the group at the Lister Arms for hot refreshments and our introduction to the workshop, plus our interpretation of what make a great landscape photograph. We describe 5 elements needed to capture the wow image, and one of them being light. Looking outside the pub window, there is little light and heavy summer rain! It’s a hard sell, but bad weather days often give the best opportunity for interesting images, and gaps in the clouds where light does break through is much better than a ‘boring’ bright sunny day for photography.
