Essex Wild Coast Photography Course

Essex Wild Coast Photography Course


The Essex coast is a wonderful place for photography, often overlooked when people are on the way to photograph Suffolk or Norfolk.  The day begins with all course attendees meeting at a pre-arranged point.  Transport between the different photographic locations is not included but Steve is happy to car-share if you wish.  He will be driving a seven-seater people carrier.  However, if you prefer to use your own car throughout the day, the photographic locations are close to each other and this does not involve driving long distances. 

MEETING POINT : DAISY MEADOW CAR PARK  HEYBRIDGE BASIN : POSTCODE CM9 4RW 

It’s a wonderful wild area of tidal estuaries, wide deserted beaches, big skies, old wrecked boats slowly falling apart and seaside villages.

On this FULL DAY  photography course (over seven hours of tuition) we will cover both the technical and artistic areas of photography.

We will cover subjects such as exposure modes, exposure histogram, white balance, exposure compensation, controlling depth of field, creative use of shutter speeds.

We will also look at composition, the use of light and colour and the use of photographic filters.

Because the course is limited to a maximum of five participants there is lots of time for individual tuition. This means I can teach all photographers with different levels of experience on this course.

Depending on each individual’s level of experience we will also look at shooting a digital panoramic image.

All my courses are run with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I really believe we all learn better when we are having a good time.

At the end of the course I will email every student a full set of comprehensive notes which I think is very important. Even the best of us cannot retain all the information that we are given. The notes are a good back-up for the days learning.
