Hi all

been a while since my last post, been real busy with prints and workshops.

Today’s offering is from Anglesey, beautiful sunset rays dance across the night sky as the shoreline rocks are washed with incoming tide. One of my main locations for workshops, I spend many hours just standing waist deep in the sea there watching the sun set, it’s just one of those places.

Next workshop sessions are 15th June onwards and I have a few places left, if you would like to attend on or buy a place for a birthday then please do email me with your preferred date, I’ll try my best to accommodate.

Please do note that my workshops are fully insured and I am ABIPP and ARPS accredited. First Aid Cover, Food and Insured Transport are included with every booking.

I wouldn’t trust anything less

Today’s offering is from my workshop on Anglesey last week, we didn’t have too much sun but when we did it was perfect and testament to the art of the Photographer, we waited and waited until this was the scene. worth it I hope you think.

My workshops www.adrianashworth.co.uk/workshops  run all year round and are 1 to 1 or small personal groups of up to 4, I am a fully qualified photographer Associate of the British Institute of Photography (BIPP) as well as an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (RPS). I am also fully insured as well as being an active team member of Mountain Rescue and a Casualty Carer. This is my full time job not a hobby and as such you receive the very best training and my undivided attention at all times for not only your photography technique but encouragement and well being.

Workshops includes INSURED transport up to 3 locations, lunch (packed) and course material, as well as hands on tuition with my numerous pieces of equipment.

So please ensure before you book a photography course in North Wales that:-

The Photographer is

Insured to transport you.

Qualified

holds a first aid certificate

Is professionally affiliated to at least LBIPP, LRPS

Is published in a paid environment not a freebie to mags

Above all remember…….being a decent photographer does not mean they can teach and your safety is paramount.

Rhosneigr – Over Dramatic Skies

One from late summer at Rhosneigr, a super storm hit the coast and minutes later me the camera and Stormy were soaking, but as I’m sure you’ll agree it was well worth it. pre and after storms always give some great light and if you’re prepared to venture out in it you stand a good chance of capturing nature at its most ferocious and beautiful.

Again, I’m asked how I do this sort of shot, so I’ll list what and how

Canon 1DS MKII, Lee .9 hard grad, Singh Ray reverse grad .9, f/11, 3s

Photoshop, clean dust and spray off with healing tool, adjust levels, dodge a little of the waves to highlight them and add a tracker watermark……thats it, nothing fancy no smoke and mirrors, if you cant do this without a computer you’re not a photographer.

If you’d like to see it done and more importantly learn how to make it happen why not join one of my courses in 2013, just send me an email with your preferred location, coast or land.

Portha Y Post – Golden Path

Hey at last I have found a little time to update my blog, been so busy lately, the exhibition at Barnsley Civic Hall starts tomorrow with a private viewing tonight, special thanks to Allan at the printers for a great job under pressure, very pleased with the outcome as the results can vary when transferred to canvass as a print solution….yawn yawn I hear! anyway you get the idea.

Weather is positivity peeing down and the wind is getting up, better dig the bad weather gear out for later when I head  out to Mountain Rescue training, saying that we’re in doors doing casualty care so will be nice and warm, especially if I take my hot choccy flask with me…yum and Lisa makes her gorgeous buns, you see its not all running up swamp moors in the snow, wind and rain thats 90 % of it, the rest is boring..lol

Got my invite to do the Rhosneigr Christmas lights this weekend so weather permitting me and Stormy will be heading down to north Wales and camping overnight, first outing for my new little tent so I can’t wait. Be great to catch up with friends too, it seems ages as we had the van stolen, but lets not dwell on that one, it’s sorted now.

Piccy for the Chronicle tomorrow morning re the exhibition, if you can find time I’d love for people to let me know what they think, it runs 22nd Nov until 4th Jan 2013, if you’re going I’ll shout you a coffee..
