Autumn. Is there anything as nice as being in the open landscape during Autumn? We can think of only one thing better and that’s being out with your camera taking photographs during the Welshot Llangollen & Valle Crucis in Autumn – Mini Module with Masterclass photographic event. Welshot is celebrating all things Autumnal by heading for the picturesque town of Llangollen, in particular the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in northeast Wales. The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure is for use by narrowboats (and walkers) and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build and will sure to delight any landscape or architectural photographer.

Learning about photographic studio lighting at the Welshot Creative Hub in Llandudno, North Wales is now something we are able to offer – either on a one to one basis or in small groups of two, three or four people. Have you always wanted to learn your butterfly from your Rembrandt, your split lighting from your side lighting or maybe you want to know (and learn) about the different types of modifiers on the market and what they do and how they are used to create the effects you’ve seen others do but not quite mastered yourself. These sessions are completely tailor made to YOU and YOUR needs as a photographer, so whether it’s a one to one you need or you and a group of friends fancy having a different kind of ‘Day Out’ we can help you get to grips with your photographic studio lighting techniques.
