IGPOTY Exhibition and Workshop
Nunnington Hall and Rievaulx Terrace are holding an exhibition of the
winners of the two most recent International Garden Photographer of the
Year competition from Saturday 14th February - Sunday 22nd March. We are
the only confirmed venue in the North of England holding this
exhibition and it will be opening in Kew Gardens in London at the same
time.
In conjunction with this exhibition, internationally renowned photographer Phillip Smith, will be delivering a workshop entitled ‘Better Plant and Garden Photography’ on Saturday 14th March from 10.00 – 16.00 at Nunnington Hall. This is a rare opportunity to work with a talented photographer and pick up new skills in the beautiful surroundings of Nunnington Hall.
International Garden Photographer of the Year – Garden Photography workshop
Date - Saturday 14th March 2015
Contact details - Nunnington Hall, North Yorkshire, YO62 5UY, 01439 748283, nunningtonhall@nationaltrust.org.uk
Cost for the course will be £70 per person and will include lunch and free entry to Nunnington Hall
Schedule
Doors open 9.30 – 10.00 for coffee
Course starts 10.00
Lunch 12.00 – 13.00 in tearoom (set menu, we will confirm the exact menu details closer to the time. There will be two courses, vegetarian option available)
Course finishes 16.00
Course details
The workshop welcomes photographers of all levels and no specific level of expertise or previous experience is expected. The aim of the course is to provide you with a set of skills and techniques that you can use to improve your photography of plants and gardens no matter what type of equipment you use. You don’t need the latest expensive cameras – all levels are welcome.
The workshop is run by Philip Smith, professional photographer and Founder of International Garden Photographer of the year in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. His work appears in books and magazines worldwide.
There will be an emphasis on training the eye to see photographic opportunities, as well as ideas and techniques to enable you to make the most of the locations. The course will be a mix of lecture, practical work, and group discussion.
The lecture will consist of a talk by Philip Smith accompanied by images of his and other photographers’ work to illustrate key points. The aim is to give you a sound basis for developing your techniques later in the day. Topics covered will include macro, composition, depth of field, focus, priority modes, control of light, and light and colour. An overview of digital processing will also be given.
The practical work will involve work in the garden. You will pursue your own subjects and interest, in addition to undertaking projects suggested by Philip. There will be ample opportunities for one to one discussions with Philip about any aspect of your photography.
The afternoon will involve a group discussion about the work that students have undertaken during the course, with constructive and inspiring comments about the work on show by both tutor and fellow students.
You will get more out of the course if you have a camera with interchangeable lenses, and particularly if you have a macro lens. This applies both to DSLR and smaller compact system cameras. Extension tubes used with normal lenses are also useful and suitable for this kind of photography. You should bring a stable tripod if you can, a remote shutter release and lens hood. Bring your camera’s manual if you have been struggling with its controls. You will need plenty of media cards and a fully charged battery (or two!) for your camera.
The course is about exploration and moving out of your comfort zone to take great pictures. But it is not deadly serious nor is it a course about the latest technology. In a friendly, open environment, we aim to inspire you to get more pleasure and fun from your photography for years to come

A message from Steve & Ann Toon
Dear Photographer,
We're just sending round an email to advise of a new photo event we've arranged for next November: the Winter Wildlife Weekend at Caerlaverock Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust reserve, on the north shore of the Solway Firth in south west Scotland. The reserve is less than an hour's drive from Carlisle and the M6.
This is a two night residential weekend, with accommodation in the farmhouse at the heart of the reserve, on the nights of Friday 27 and Saturday 28th November. All meals and refreshments are included in the price of £165 per photographer. We've aimed to make this an affordable break. The farmhouse is recently refurbished, and while accommodation is simple and homely, it's cosy and comfortable and makes a great base for photography. Because we're staying on the reserve we can be out at first light, hours before the public have access.
Caerlaverock is famous for it's huge flocks of overwintering barnacle geese, but also has a wide variety of other water birds, including beautiful whooper swans. There are plenty of hides for photography, including a very comfortable heated hide only yards from the farmhouse. Roe deer and foxes are often seen on the reserve, and as a special treat we're almost certain to be visited each night by badgers, which feed outside the conservatory window.
It's more of a pre-Christmas get-together for like-minded people who enjoy wildlife and photography, than a formal teaching event, but we will have a short tutorial during non-photographing hours, and there will be plenty of opportunity to chat to us for advice, or to show us your pictures for critiques.
Single guests will be sharing a room (though we won't mix genders!), allowing us not to charge a single supplement. Some rooms are en suite, others share a bathroom: en suites will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis, so book early!
There are more details on our website and as usual we're happy to answer any questions you might have before booking.
Hope you can make it!

Steve Gosling Workshops
2014
2014 has been a busy year for me with lots of overseas photo trips and workshops. I’m pleased to say that the majority of the workshops have sold out but there are still places on the following: -
News of photography workshops from Steve Gosling
ICELAND
I am running an autumn photo workshop with Icelandic landscape and nature photographer, Daniel Bergmann from September 25th to October 5th. No one knows Iceland like Daniel and we’re sure to benefit greatly from his local knowledge and have a great time visiting some wonderfully photogenic locations – Iceland is a landscape photographers dream. At this time of year the autumn colours should be at their best and we’ll also have a chance to witness & photograph the Northern Lights. This is an all inclusive trip – just get yourself to Iceland and the rest is taken care of. For more details and booking information please see http://www.danielbergmann.com/workshops/iceland-autum-photo-tour
OLYMPUS OMD DAYS
There are still places left on one of my Olympus OMD days – the creative photography workshop in Blackpool, Lancashire on 12th November (http://www.olympus-imagespace.co.uk/index.php/whats-on/event/156-olympus-om-d-workshop/0 ). You’ll get a day’s tuition from me plus the chance to use the fantastic Olympus OMD plus lenses courtesy of Olympus UK for just £50 (places subsidised by Olympus UK). Bookings can be made via the link.
2015
THE FAROE ISLANDS
Following our successful workshop in Scotland earlier this year I am running two workshops next year with Irish landscape photographer, Peter Cox. The first of these will be in the Faroe Islands from April 27th to May 3rd. The Faroe Islands (located between Iceland and Scotland) offer wonderful vistas with soaring mountains and dramatic cliffs & coastlines and to date it’s a location that hasn’t been over photographed (but the stunning scenery ensures that won’t last for long so our workshop offers the chance to get some unique images of this truly photogenic landscape). And as well photographing the islands from the land we will also be offering the opportunity to do some aerial photography from a chartered helicopter. This is an all inclusive workshop so tuition from Peter and I, transport, food & accommodation are all included. For more information and to book see http://photocourses.petercox.ie/courses/the-faroe-islands
THE ISLE OF SKYE
The second workshop I’m running in 2015 with Peter Cox is on the Isle of Skye. The workshop will run from the 15th to 24th November – a winter workshop that offers the potential for some dramatic weather and light as well as the opportunity to do some night photography and get some different images of this much photographed location. We will be based at the wonderful Eilean Iarmain Hotel offering top quality food & accommodation in a wonderful setting. The workshop will be all inclusive. Details and costings are being finalised but if you’d like to register your interest (no commitment required at this stage) and get priority for booking please email me.
NORTHUMBERLAND COAST & THE LAKE DISTRICT
For the last two years I have run workshops with fellow landscape photographer Mark Banks. In 2015 we are offering two 3 day events – on the Northumberland Coast (March) and the Lake District (October). Specific dates and costings are to be finalised but if you’d like to put your name down for a priority booking (again no commitment required at this stage) then please let me know.
OLYMPUS OMD DAYS
I am currently planning an extensive programme of workshops for next year that I will offer in conjunction with Olympus UK. Again they will provide cameras and lenses that participants can use during the workshop. I am looking at locations in both the UK and overseas so if you’d like to see a workshop run in a location near you please let me know as soon as possible.
