Photography Courses
Phototrails
An informal course based around walks in the Hope Valley . Less theory than in the Basic Landscape photography techniques day, but hints and tips to put into practice to improve your landscape photography techniques.
The walks are up to 5 miles in length, so a basic level of fitness is required.
Please bring your own refreshments and lunch as we do not always pass a café en route.
Hathersage Moor, Bole Hill and Derwent Valley :
Plenty of opportunities for a variety of photographs on this walk that combines riverside, woodland and gritstone moor. The abandoned millstones set amongst the trees at Bole Hill Quarry make interesting subjects to practice a number of techniques on..
Rugged Landscape;
A moderately strenuous walk along the southern edge of the kinder plateau and skirting the blanket peat. Learn about the history, geology and life in this beautiful valley whilst picking up hints and tips along the way on how to make the most of your photographs.
Stanage Edge:
Follow the gritstone cliffs of Stanage Edge above Hathersage and enjoy the spectacular high level scenery whilst picking up hints and tips along the way on how to make the most of your photographs.
Longshaw and Padley Gorge:
A wealth of history, scenery, open moorland and parkland give opportunities for varied photography at this beautiful time of year. An absorbing undemanding walk
Carl Wark and Burbage Rocks:
A walk over craggy heather-clad escarpments offering wonderful views of the Derwent valley. Enjoy this stunning scenery whilst learning from a professional photographer how to make the most of your photographs. Plenty of time allowed to stop and take photos.
Cave Dale:
Keeping away from the tourist hotspots we discover some of the more spectacular parts of the Castleton area. A walk up the impressive Cave Dale to the moors above, then across Windy knoll and its cave, and back passing the old mines and the shivering mountain Mam Tor.
