Programme

We start this two-day workshop with a strong theoretical basis. On the first day, using clear course materials and live demos, you will be immersed in the world of nature photography. During the day we will put our newly-learned skills to the test by means of small exercises. On the day of the practical session we meet before dawn for a morning get-together in the field. During the finest hours of the day, you will learn how to expose a picture correctly and improve your composition skills in no time. We will visit at least two locations in the beautiful Flemish Ardennes or the Valley of the Scheldt. We conclude the day with an evaluation of our photographs.

Please note: the program of this workshop may change based on the weather or the Corona measures applicable at that time.

Dit vonden de deelnemers van de vorige edities

"Ongelooflijk veel bijgeleerd, zeker bij landschapsfotografie. Daar ga ik zeker verder aan werken. Waarvoor mijn dank aan Bart. Bij macro had ik al de basis, maar was ook leerrijk. Kortom AANRADER."

"Ik vond de uitleg goed verstaanbaar en helder. Ook de info over de camera instellingen bij de verschillende locaties en opstellingen vond ik goed en gericht."

"Ik heb mij uitstekend geamuseerd. Hoewel ik niet echt meer een beginner ben, heb ik mij toch niet verveeld dankzij de vele practische tips die we onmiddellijk konden uitproberen. Het enthousiasme voor de fotografie straalde ook van de lesgever af en ieder kreeg raad op zijn niveau." – M.Caudron
