Out & About 1  Brill, Bicester & Burford

    
Duration: 3 Days Training & Full Board Accommodation: £495 What's included: refreshments, tutorials, meals, two nights' hotel accommodation, entrance fees and a welcome pack Outline: This popular course is a three day special photo event and includes two nights' stay, full board in a comfortable hotel. With full tuition throughout along with mini tutorials, 1:1 sessions, reviews and general camaraderie we visit the three B's, Brill, Bicester and Burford. At Brill Common we capture it's superb 17th Century Post Mill sitting on the brow of a grass covered long disused quarry. It has only every been operated by six Millers in its time. The mill is unique in the sense that it can be photographed from any angle which is a huge advantage to the keen landscape photographer. The first vicar to attend a service at St. Edburg's Church in Bicester was over 900 years ago. It stands on the site of a mediaeval Abbey. It's been added to over the years to create a fine building including a tiny mediaeval stained glass in the Chancel which you can get your lens right up to. It also has superb glass behind an ancient font and fantastic carvings, 15th century wooden chests and eye catching architecture. Here we'll show you how to capture stained glass in all its details and richness, including zoom techniques, shoot a superb church interior at ultra long shutter speeds to enhance the shadow areas and prevent the highlights from burning out. We'll also pick out the smallest details with macro to create wonderful images. Our final venue is the Wildlife Park near Burford which is one of the Country's most photographer friendly zoos. We'll have opportunity to photograph a fantastic collection of mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates from all over the world including Meerkats, white Rhino, Avocets, Cranes, Crocodiles, Mandarin Ducks, Emus, Flamingos, Frogs, Heron, Hornbills, Jaguarundi, Kookaburra, Lemurs, Birds of Prey, Scorpions, Tamarin (Emperor), Vipers, Grey Wolves and Zebra. Full tuition in given throughout in small sessions at the hotel, on location and during the shoot. The idea behind the event is to help you develop a wide range of skills from macro to landscape photography all in the short space of three days. It's also an opportunity to meet and work with other enthusiasts and a chance to share aspirations, images, technique and equipment.
