Yorkshire Dales Landscapes

I've been visiting the Yorkshire Dales for one reason or another for longer than I can remember now. The elements that draw me back time and time again, are the sheer diversity of the landscape, and also the photographic challenges this presents. The Yorkshire Dales are far from the easiest of locations to photograph, and there are certainly areas of the UK that enjoy more obliging weather! However, with glacier formed green valleys, waterfalls, Limestone pavements, crags and scars, as well as the 'Three Peaks' of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent, the Dales are the ideal place to learn all aspects of Landscape photography.

Hi David, I thought you might be interested to know that two of the pictures I took during the workshop with you last year formed part of my successful RPS ‘L’ distinction portfolio this summer. They have just appeared on the RPS website if you would like to see how they came out you can see them here Best wishes, Ken …

Hi David, Thank you for sending the links and thank you very much for a great photo workshop. Thanks for your clear explanations (as I said in the Questionnaire I dislike studying manuals) N also managed to achieve some great photos (actually more than achieved, I am actually ecstatic! – especially with the waterfall but also the Hawthorn tree) we had been hoping to get. Your enthusiasm really helped us to understand the cameras settings so much better. Again – thanks for that! Unfortunately – or fortunately I should say – lots of work was waiting for us coming back, so all I managed up to now is downloading the photos but I did not have any time for editing. I’ll be in touch soon, Best wishes, R & N (Shetland)

Thank you for a brilliant day in the Hebden Bridge area. Part of a group of 4, Davids enthusiasm and obvious passion for photography was clear. He took his time with everyone, answering any number of questions and took us to numerous different locations to get good shots. He is such a professional but has a refreshing, easy going approach that made it such an enjoyable experience. I most definitely came away from the day wanting to put everything into practise and learn more. Very highly recommended.

Debbie Hall Testimonial Testimonials

I imagined that on my first workshop it would be mostly showing me how to work the camera and use manual setting, de-mystifying focus, iso and exposure. This was the case but alongside the technical aspects of using a camera I was also getting a lot of information about how to look at landscapes. I had no idea how to see an image. David showed me how to make the best of an area and I came away with an image I now have on my wall. I have been on several trips with David now, from the Yorkshire coast to the Wolds from a hike up the hills to exploring a waterfall. David is patient and knowledgeable, he makes you see in a different way. Generous with his knowledge, and locations. David has helped me see there is much more to learn and he has a passion for the landscape that is infectious. I have learned more in a day with David than I have reading loads of books on landscape photography. There is no substitute for getting out there and wrestling with the conditions presented to you by nature and no better companion than David to show you the way. Michael White

Swaledale Meadows, early June. This was my 5th workshop with David. I started as a complete novice 4 years ago. He is always enthusiastic, helpful, patient and I always feel I have learned so much in a long day with him. Just working out what he has available in the next couple of months.

I recently completed a 3 day course in the Yorkshire Dales, and it was great. I'm not a beginner, and I've been using DSLR's for 15 years or so. But David taught me a lot of new techniques and introduced me to half a dozen features that I've never used on my camera before. And even though the course was mixed ability I always felt that I had personal attention, and suggestions. He also knew all the best spots to go to across the whole range of weather that we had, from gusty sunshine to pouring rain (and the best places for breakfast...). I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend David to anyone looking to take their next step in photography. It's reawakened my interest, and I'm back out there trying things out.

I ordered two large mounted prints from David and am thrilled with the quality of the photos and David’s service. The photos arrived carefully packaged and within a week. I had a couple of queries when buying them and he was able to respond to my emails quickly making the service really personal. I have already recommended David’s photographs to friends and I will certainly be back for more prints in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Glencoe workshop and spent the 4 days with lovely company. We had some pretty wet weather to contend with but David always found somewhere for us to shoot. I finally learnt how to get the best settings out of my camera. David was very patient and very knowledgeable. The areas he took us to were stunning and I got some stunning photographs. I cant wait until I can do another workshop with him
