Join us for a relaxed three-day residential photography experience on Dartmoor, designed for small groups (maximum four guests) who want to enjoy inspiring locations, friendly company and a well-hosted photographic weekend.This course focuses on experience and enjoyment rather than formal classroom teaching, giving you time to explore beautiful landscapes while developing your photography in a supportive environment with like-minded people. Read MoreOver the three days (15 - 17 May) we will visit a range of Dartmoor locations including reservoirs, rivers, waterfalls, ancient stone circles, dramatic tors and the iconic Dartmoor ponies. A special highlight will be a private guided Alpaca walk, offering a unique opportunity to photograph these wonderful animals in a peaceful countryside setting before exploring nearby locations around Tavistock such as St Michael’s Church and Windy Post.Your host will manage transport and planning throughout the course so you can simply relax, enjoy the scenery and focus on photography. As Dartmoor weather can be unpredictable, the itinerary includes flexibility and alternative options if conditions require a change of plan.Above all, the course aims to provide a friendly, enjoyable photography experience in beautiful surroundings, shared with a small group of enthusiastic photographers. Accommodation is not included in the course price. Our suggested base is the Travelodge at Whiddon Down, which offers convenient access to the areas we will be visiting. An alternative Travelodge is available at Sourton, and there are several B&B options locally should you prefer different accommodation. We recommend booking your room before confirming your place on the course.Food is also not included, allowing guests flexibility in their choices. During the day your host will provide tea and coffee breaks, giving everyone the opportunity to pause, relax and chat.At the end of each day there will be an opportunity to meet for an optional evening meal, providing a relaxed setting to reflect on the day’s photography and enjoy the social side of the course.All transport between photography locations will be provided, meaning there are no additional fuel or parking costs and no need for guests to drive during the course.Participants should already have a basic understanding of their camera settings and be comfortable shooting off automatic mode. Completion of our Introduction to Photography – Getting off Auto and Movement courses (or equivalent experience) is recommended.
