Getting there: pick-up from Norwich available, or meet at mine and park up
This is a residential landscape photography workshop through Snowdonia and Anglesey in late November, the season when the summer crowds have thinned, the light turns moody and cinematic, and the Welsh coast starts throwing everything it's got at you. Wave-battered sea stacks, mist rolling off the mountains, lighthouses standing firm against the weather. It's the kind of drama you simply don't get on a calm summer's evening.
And you won't be chasing it alone. With a group of just four, I'll be right beside you at every location, helping you read the light, find your composition and nail your settings, while I take care of everything else: the driving, the accommodation, the timings, the where and the when. You just bring your camera and your curiosity.
Just 4 places, and here's why
I keep these trips deliberately small. Four guests means everyone gets proper, personal attention, nobody's jostling for space at the good spots, and, practically, you all fit in my van, so I can chauffeur you from location to location for the entire workshop. The van's kitted out too: there's 240V mains power on board, so if your batteries start running low through the day you can top them straight back up, which is a real lifesaver for drone batteries especially, and I've got a camping stove in the back for tea and coffee, so there's always a hot brew on the go between shoots. No convoy, no getting lost, no white-knuckle drives down unfamiliar lanes at 5 am. You turn up, hop in, and shoot.
Who this trip is for
This one's a step up from my day workshops. It's for photographers who've got the basics under their belt, a working understanding of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) and how to shoot in manual. If you're comfortable there, you're ready. Everything beyond that- composition, filters, long exposures, reading the conditions, editing back at base- is exactly what we'll build on together over the five days.
(Brand new to your camera? My one-day workshops are the better place to start; drop me a line, and I'll point you the right way.)
Where we'll shoot
Snowdonia and Anglesey are ridiculously good for landscape photography: dramatic mountains, sweeping valleys, abandoned slate quarries, rugged coastline, lighthouses and sea stacks, all within reach. Over the five days we'll work a mix of mountain and coastal locations. Likely spots include South Stack Lighthouse, the Trefor Sea Stacks and some of the classic Snowdonia viewpoints. Snowdonia still draws its share of hill walkers year-round, but late November is noticeably quieter than peak season, so we'll usually have more room to work, calmer conditions along the coast, and a more relaxed experience all round.
The exact locations flex with the conditions. My job is to put you in the best spot for the best light on the day, not to stick rigidly to a plan when something better is happening over the next ridge.
A typical day
Monday: Arrive and check in, head out for a sunset shoot, then dinner together.
Tuesday to Thursday: Up for sunrise, shooting the best locations through the day, back for breakfast or a stop en route, then out again through to sunset, with a relaxed evening meal option back at the accommodation. There's also the chance to sit down with a brew and go through your photos on the sofa if you fancy it. Nothing formal, just a relaxed bit of editing time if you'd like some pointers.
Friday: One last sunrise shoot, then check out and head home.
Sunrise to sunset, we'll chase the light, but at a friendly, unhurried pace, with plenty of time to actually enjoy where you are.
Where you'll stay
You'll have your own private room in a comfortable private house, ideally located to keep driving distances short from sunrise to sunset rather than relying on a hotel miles from the locations. A light breakfast is provided each morning: cereal, toast and jam, orange juice, tea and coffee, to set you up before a sunrise start. Lunches and dinners aren't included, which keeps the price down and the days flexible. Most evenings we'll have the option to eat back at base to keep things relaxed and costs sensible, or head out if the group fancies it. We decide as we go.
Sharing? Two of you travelling together can book straight in using the double room option at checkout, no need to email.
Getting there, the easy bit
Coming from Norfolk?
You've got two easy options: meet at mine and leave your car (there's plenty of free parking on the road), or I'll pick you up in Norwich. Either way, you're then chauffeured there, back, and throughout the entire workshop in my van, which is fully insured and breakdown-covered for carrying you and the group. It genuinely takes the stress out of the whole thing: no long solo drive to somewhere unfamiliar, no navigating dark lanes before dawn. Prefer to make your own way and meet us there? That's absolutely fine too.
What's included
Accommodation with your own private room
Light breakfast each morning
All transport throughout the workshop
Transport from Norwich, there and back, if you'd like it
Loan of landscape filters and a tripod if you need them
Hands-on, personal photography tuition from start to finish
What's not included
Lunches, dinners, meals out, snacks and drinks; travel to the start location if you're not travelling with me; and your own personal, travel and camera-equipment insurance, plus breakdown cover for your own vehicle if you choose to drive yourself.
A bit about me
I'm a full-time landscape photographer based in Norfolk, with a BA and a Master's degree in photography, and I've been running workshops since 2013. I'm a proud ambassador for five photography brands, I've won and been shortlisted for several awards, and my images have featured in publications and exhibitions. But honestly, what people tend to remember from these trips isn't the CV; it's the relaxed, no-pressure, no-egos atmosphere, and coming home with photographs they're genuinely proud of.
What about the weather?
Let's be honest, it's North Wales in November, and the weather will play its part. That's the point. Wild waves, dramatic skies and fast-changing, atmospheric conditions are exactly what make these images special, and we'll get out and make the most of them. Wales is a big place, so there's always a Plan B and a Plan C. If one spot isn't working, we move to where it is. The only time we'll change tack completely is a genuine severe weather warning, where safety always comes first, with dynamic risk assessments throughout.
Fitness & what to expect
You'll want to be generally fit; the furthest walk from the van is around 40 minutes, with some uphill, though always at a slow, steady pace. Some locations involve uneven paths, coastal terrain and working near cliffs or exposed spots, so sturdy footwear and proper all-weather clothing are essential.
Dates, price & booking
Secure your spot with your £275 deposit, payable by BACS (preferred, as it keeps transaction fees down; just send me an email) or through the website checkout. The balance is due 28 days before we set off. Two of you sharing? Just choose the double room option when you book.
Places on these small-group trips go quickly, so if wild, late-November North Wales is calling, I'd love to have you along. Any questions about the trip, booking, kit or travel, email me at info@dibsphotography.com, always happy to help.
What to bring
DSLR or mirrorless camera, spare batteries and memory cards, a range of lenses (wide, mid and zoom), a sturdy tripod, lens cleaning kit, camera bag, warm waterproof clothing, sturdy footwear, umbrella, torch and a bath towel. I've got spare landscape filters you're welcome to borrow, and I'm happy to advise if you're thinking of buying your own.
