Other info
Ideally, the weather will be kind and the sun will shine, however, be fully prepared to venture out regardless of whatever mother nature throws at us. Great shots can be taken no matter what the weather. Only heavy rain, strong winds or conditions deemed to be dangerous will spoil our fun! Flexibility on dates / days may be possible. Please contact Michelle directly.
NB, This session is not about learning / teaching you how to use your individual camera, but is all about gaining first hand knowledge in where to take the best photos of The Tor. It's about composition, position and location. Lots of tips and tricks provided.
