What could be better than walking the walls of Chester City with your camera. If you have missed getting out and about with your camera and enjoying the company of those who have a passion for photography then this is the event for you. Meeting at the historical cross on Watergate Street, Chester the Welshot Team lead a small group of photographers in this Welshot Mini Module – complete with a masterclass in architectural photography & how to shoot for HDR (High Dynamic Range).
If there is something Welshot does well it is variety, and the two days just spent in aforementioned dark room couldn’t have been more different. I am an amateur with no impetus to go professional but if the opportunity arose to make a few coins to cover my GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) then I wouldn’t say no. So the chance to spend a day with one of the few names I know in the photography world was too good to miss.
