Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to do a landscape course and wondered if any of you have any good recommendations for them?

I'm based in Oxfordshire, so somewhere around Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire etc would be ideal, but saying that, I'm not against going to places like Lake District, Dorset etc.

I'm after a one-day or two-day course, can't really afford to be away from the business for much longer than that!!

I'm a portrait and wedding photographer by profession, I know how to use a camera so the course doesn't need to be a beginners course as such! I'm not doing this for business purposes, simply for pleasure and so I can see landscapes a little more creatively!

Thanks for your help!!!!! :)
 
Hi Aimee - maybe a bit far for you but I did a one day course in glencoe and surrounding areas with a chap called billy currie recently. It was very good.
 
Thanks Mark and Albertdong! :)

How tempting is Joe Cornish's Antarctica trip! lol... slightly out of my price league though.

Both of them look like great courses. Billy's is more within my price range and despite the distance I could work in a couple of days R&R with it! Just need to have a look at his availability too... these courses seem to get booked up so quickly!
 
Hi Amiee

Weekend courses are certainly a great way to learn, but sometimes having a longer learning time frame can work better. Your local college may offer landscape courses, another alternative is an online course.

I did the Joe Cornish workshop up here in North Yorkshire and found it excellent, I did the one day course, he does a two day course with Mark Banks, another excellent landscape photographer.

I recently attended the one day Joe Cornish workshop as I was interested to know how the best out there goes about their work, to be completely honest I was also hoping to pinch a couple of ideas for my own workshops. I enjoyed the day and it was certainly interesting to hear Joe's thoughts and "ethos", I'd call it more of a "Joe Cornish experience" day rather than a workshop though as to be honest neither Joe or Mark gave too many secrets away on the day;) Thoroughly enjoyable all the same

Buy some ND grads. Go outside. Take photos. Look at why they suck, improve the things you dislike, maintain the things you do. Read books that talk about art and technique, not technology.
The best course you could take would be to doggedly shoot one landscape a day for a year. It'll be cheaper and the results massively more beneficial. Plus, the best time for shooting landscapes is around sunrise and sunset, so you should be able to fit this course in around the business :)
