WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
A 3 night Landscape Photography Workshop in the Landscape Photographer’s paradise that is Glencoe and its surrounding areas. In November, we will be shooting at a time when the the Valley is coming out of it’s winter hibernation.
You will arrive the Glencoe area on Friday, with the aim of arriving with plenty of time to spare to enjoy the afternoon/evening! On Saturday and Sunday, we will explore a variety of spots. We will spend time in and around the Valley area and also head a little further afield to explore the surrounding area, before rounding up the trip with a Monday morning sunrise.
I will be on hand to provide as much or as little tuition as you need for the duration of the trip.
TRAVEL
It is up to you on how you get to the Glencoe area. We can either arrange a time for me to collect you from Fort William Station on Friday, or your can travel up yourself. Ideally, you will arrive with enough time for us to explore some of the area on Friday before we grab dinner.
I will drive us from spot to spot for the duration of the workshop.
Our workshop will conclude around lunch time on Monday. If you travelled up by train, I will drop you off at Fort William Station.

PERKS:
I am very stringent in the brands that I choose to be affiliated with, only trusting premium brands and products that I would choose to purchase myself. With that in mind, I am delighted to offer the following to workshop participants:
FORMATT HITECH FILTERS
Formatt Hitech offer a range of best in class photographic and cinema filters, with a particular highlight being their Firecrest Ultra range. One of the perks of being an ambassador for Formatt Hitech is that I can offer discount on their products to fellow photographers. Save 10% on your next purchase at https://www.formatt-hitech.com using the code FORTUNE10 at checkout*.
If you have access to your own filters, that’s great! You can of course use your own filters while we work. However, if you want to try out a few new options, then they are there waiting for you!
F-STOP GEAR
f-stop’s backpacks and accessories are the perfect companion for any serious visual storyteller. Their products are incredibly well designed, offering some of the best in class quality and functionality that is currently available. My personal recommendation is the f-stop Tilopa 50L DuraDiamond Backpack.
As an Ambassador for f-stop, workshop and tutorial participants get access to 25% discount on f-stop’s excellent range of products alongside $20 credit to spend on their website.

Some elements of this workshop will require a short hike across difficult terrain, so a degree of fitness/competency in hiking is required. Participation is at your own risk and I cannot be held liable for any injuries sustained during our workshop. Should you have specific requirements that must be considered, it is important for you to declare them in advance.
We will travel to some spots on foot. Some of the terrain can be rough or slippery underfoot, so it is crucial that you wear appropriate footwear.
You will need to pack appropriate clothing, footwear and protection for your camera, as we will be shooting whatever the weather! I would strongly recommend packing your waterproofs, just in case! We will be shooting the stunning mountains, lochs, waterfalls, castles across our time in the area, so brace yourselves for uncompromising beauty that shines whatever the weather.
