INTRODUCTION
Ever wanted to stay in a castle in Scotland and capture some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK? This will be a six day photography experience you will never forget! Embed yourself into the stunning landscape of the Hebridean island of Harris and Lewis, visiting out of this world locations in changeable weather conditions. You will have the advantage of a professional photographer on hand, where we will explore carefully selected intimate locations which offer multiple composition opportunities in order to help diversify your portfolio. We will all stay in a stunning renovated castle close to island amenities.
OVERVIEW
Day 1 (16th Feb) Flight / Ferry to Stornoway, arriving before 15.00 on the 23rd February this will then allow you the time to settle into you room before we head out for the first sunset shoot. We will travel to a section of coastline close to the castle, to allow you to familiarise yourselves with the local environment.
Day 2 (17th Feb) We will rise early to catch the early light. The morning will be spent exploring two beaches, Luskentyre and Seilbost. After a on-the-go lunch, we will explore some off the beaten track locations which offer a different perspective of Harris. We then head back to the hotel for a rest and some dinner. Itinerary may change depending on weather conditions.
Day 3 (18th Feb) Another early start! Today we will make the trip to a less well known beach called Scarista, however, you won't be disappointed, its a stunning location. We will be doing a lot of walking today as we will explore all angles and locations on this beach before heading over to a classic location called the Harris Salt Flats.
Day 4 (19th Feb) Today will be a mix of morning local photography and a edit masterclass in the afternoon, where Anthony will take you through an in depth look at editing styles, processing, sharpening techniques and more. We will also have the chance to see some of the photographs you have captured during the trip.
Day 5 (20th Feb) Starting the day at Uig Bay, we will explore the vast sandy bay that offers perfect opportunities for minimalist photography, with grand stretching vistas.
Day 6 (21st Feb) The last full day will be flexible, and we will decide as a group which locations (based on Anthony's recommendations) to explore! You will have the chance to either travel North to capture some sand patterns and rock formations, or we can further explore previous beaches and vistas.
Departure (22nd Feb) For those who we are interested, we will have the opportunity to capture one last sunrise prior to departure. Depart Stornoway after 12.00pm.
*Full itinerary and meeting point to be provided on confirmed booking. Itinerary may change based on weather conditions and anything out of the organisers' control.
