A blog on travel photography and our photography courses in the UK and Abroad.
Three photos sent by Chris Routley showing the floodwaters near Glastonbury and some new techniques on photoshop we discussed on a recent course. We now have a new course starting in 2013 which is called our “winter course”. The idea is to spend some time learning some new photoshop and HDR techniques. The course will be ideal for anyone wanting to get up to speed on photoshop quickly with lots of hands on experience.
Check out www.fotocourses.co.uk and follow the “Winter Courses” link.
We have now published our new dates for 2013. We are running some extra courses and want to build on the success of the 2012 courses. If you book your course before the end of 2012 we will give you a 10% reduction on the course price!

Stunning shots in the New Forest over the past couple of days. Our New Forest course was enjoyed by all and it was good to see some old friends returning for another course. Thanks to Ron, Nigel, Neil, John, Chris, Rona, Nancy and Shirley. The pictures are streaming in now so I will be updating the New Forest galleries shortly.
New dates for 2013 are up on the site. Visit http://www.fotocourses.co.uk and follow the New Forest link.
Our wedding course went with a swing over the weekend. We managed to dodge the rain and everyone enjoyed themselves. Here are a couple of comments from 2 of the course participants:
“When attending a course led by Gary you get the feeling you are being taught by a man who is a Master
At his Craft. He enables you to produce memorable shots that stay with you for life…” Steve C – Bath
Here are a few pictures from the Venice trip 2012 including a Gondola ride courtesy of Ted.

Canon have announced a new camera in the range the EOS 6D. The camera is similar in size and weight to the 60D but has a full frame CMOS sensor.
This is the new lowest entry point for a full frame camera and features a newly designed 20.2 Megapixel camera. The camera has an ISO range of 100-25600 which is expandable to 50000-102400!
