Capturing Winter: Photography Workshop for 12-16 year olds

This outdoor photography workshop will focus on capturing the amazing aspects of winter at Scotney Castle.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

Join Sharp Shots Photo Club and look for signs of winter, such as frost, golden light and long shadows in the stunning grounds of Scotney Castle. . Through using aperture and shutter speeds in creative ways, our students will learn how a camera makes a photograph. Students will also learn how to photograph in the black and white setting capturing the shapes and textures in their surroundings. We will teach our students how to blur the backgrounds in their photographs, using aperture correctly to make the frost appear sharp in their photographs, along with capturing the winter sun as it highlights the landscapes & architecture of Scotney Castle. Out students will finish the class with a great set of portfolio of winter images and will print out their favourite image at the end of the workshop.

Workshop price £47 Workshop + DSLR Camera hire price £60
