Join me on this wildflower photography workshop for a fantastic opportunity to capture the stunning displays of flora on the wildflower meadows of the Peak District.
The British Isles is home to an incredibly diverse range of wild plants and flowers. Wildflower meadows are one of the most iconic and colourful British countryside habitats and have been present here for thousands of years. Unfortunately wildflower meadows have become a rarity in our country and are now in steep decline due to new chemical farming practices and land development. The Peak District thankfully is still home to some of the most beautiful wildflower meadows the UK has to offer. The seasonal displays here, such as the explosion of early purple orchids, are some of the best in the world, making it an ideal location for this workshop.
Fitness difficulty:

Sometimes very steep walks to reach the wildflower meadows, however I can adapt the location to your suit your fitness level.

As a complete novice the workshop was just what I needed (I bought an entry level DSLR but never got beyond the ‘Auto’ mode). The day was perfectly tailored to my level. Francis is an excellent teacher and clearly explained the basics of photography, many of the functions of my camera and the use of filters. If you are a novice don’t feel that this workshop isn’t for you. Francis was full of encouragement, useful tips and advice. I came away from the day feeling inspired to take my photography beyond ‘Auto’ mode (I have spent the weekend researching a new tripod!) Francis is a really great guy and very easy to get on with. He has a real passion for photography and I would encourage anyone to do a workshop.
From meadow flowers and orchids to bluebells and other woodland blooms, this wildflower photography workshop will show you how to capture stunning images of our beautiful native flora.
During the day you will have the opportunity to photograph a range of flowers and plants. Learning techniques such as creative use of depth of field for artistic images, to capturing all the fine details with the use of focus stacking.
