Description:
Get out of bed nice and early for this fantastic location with so much to photograph. This early workshop misses all the crowds for the first light of the day, and hopefully a wonderful sunrise (not guaranteed!).
An intriguing location with lots to photograph. With an ever changing, eroding coastline there are always new photo opportunities. This first light workshop will let you capture the pre-dawn light and as the sun rises (hopefully with a wonderful sunrise, but not guaranteed!). Sunrise or not we get to beach the crowds.
Long exposures work really well at Bawdsey with many structures claimed by the sea, so if you have neutral density (full ND) filters be sure to bring them along.
With a mix of composition and technical tips there is a good variety throughout the day. Being in a small group you have plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
