PhotoTrek at Exbury Gardens announced

We are delighted to announce that the stunning Exbury Gardens on the edge of the Solent have engaged us to run a PhotoTrek at the start of autumn this year. We have reprinted the details here:


PhotoTrek at Exbury Gardens
Sat 11 October
Come and learn photographic techniques in the delightful setting of an autumnal Exbury. Bring your own camera – suitable for beginners and those learning the art of photography. Four hour courses starting at 8am and 1pm, max 16 per session. £45 per person includes a light lunch. Pre-booking essential on 023 8024 5750. The Box Office is manned Mon – Fri 9.30am – 4.30pm.

More info: The Exbury PhotoTrek will cover photographic composition, abstract, landscape, close up as well as camera technique and the all important “eye for a picture”, whilst enjoying a relaxing walk in this beautiful Grade-II listed Garden to enable you to capture images of these stunning plants, and surroundings.

Prior preparation:
None really other than how your camera operates. With so many different cameras on the market, PhotoTrek cannot possibly know how each works. Therefore ideally you should read your camera manual and practice how to change the aperture, iso, white balance and exposure compensation. DON’T worry what they do or what they’re for, Ian and Barry will tell you that, just understand and practice how to change them. If your particular camera does not have these features, then again it is not a problem, good pictures can still be taken. Nowadays though, even modest compact cameras carry these features.

Joining instructions will be sent to confirm meeting place at Exbury and times. We regret that no children or pets may be bought along. All prices are per person. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and stout shoes. We will be “heading into the woods.”
