A late-autumn Peak District photography trip

This four-day small-group photography trip is based in the Hope Valley and timed for late-autumn colour. We’ll work with the conditions rather than follow a rigid list, using the area’s gorges, historic quarries, woodland and open landscapes to build a varied set of images.

Who this workshop is for

This is best suited to photographers with a basic understanding of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. You do not need to be an expert. I’ll help with composition, exposure, filters, long exposures and making practical decisions as the light and weather change.

How the week will work

We’ll meet around midday on Monday, check in and head out for our first afternoon and sunset shoot. Tuesday and Wednesday are full workshop days, planned around the weather and the best available light. Thursday gives us a final day of photography before the trip finishes after the last shoot.

The pace is relaxed, but we’ll make the most of the short November days. Exact locations are chosen around light, weather, access and safety.

Accommodation and food

Accommodation is included, with each guest having a private room. Breakfasts, packed lunches, evening meals, tea, coffee, water and planned snacks are included throughout the trip. Meals will be arranged around the photography schedule using the accommodation and local cafés or pubs. We expect to use the Yorkshire Bridge Inn when the itinerary and opening hours allow. Alcoholic drinks are not included.

I’ll contact everyone before the trip to collect dietary requirements. Please contact me before booking if you have a severe allergy or a requirement that may need specialist preparation, so I can confirm what can be accommodated safely.

Travel and transport

Transport between workshop locations and fuel are included in my five-seat van. The van has 240V mains power for charging camera and drone batteries, plus a camping stove for tea and coffee between shoots.

A return lift from Norwich may be available by prior arrangement; otherwise, meet us at the accommodation.

What to bring

Bring a DSLR or mirrorless camera, spare batteries and memory cards, a useful range of lenses, a sturdy tripod, lens-cleaning kit, warm waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear. Filters are useful, but I have a spare set available to borrow.

If you are not fully familiar with your camera, bring the manual or download it to your phone before travelling. Do not rely on having an internet connection while we are out.

Weather and flexibility

November conditions can change quickly, so locations and timings may be adjusted to make the best of the light and keep the group safe. Suitable waterproof clothing and grippy footwear are essential.
