I'd like to share my experiences of my first photography course, which I did in October with a company called The Digital Dawn. This was the first course I have ever been on - in terms of technique, I am entirely self-taught. I wanted a course to stimulate my creativity rather than learn how to use a camera, and also wanted to return to landscape photography - which is what attracted me to the game 20+ years ago.
After a bit of web research, I opted for the advanced landscape course run by Garry Brannigan, under the name The Digital Dawn. Two things attracted me to his course - firstly the small group format, and secondly his images, which are all of a style that I find appealing.
The course looked a bit expensive on paper, but in fact was excellent value. We had long days of location-based photography, with a lot of 1:1 discussion about our intended shots, as well as a constant stream of informal but very informative conversation about wider aspects of landscape photography, for example how to choose a location and when to visit it, both in season and time of day.
It has had a big impact on my photography, both improving my composition and giving me a new direction to develop.
Has anyone else any good (or bad!) experiences of courses/ tours etc?
