ISLE OF SKYE WORKSHOP INFORMATION

This workshop covers multiple locations and adjusts the days (ie sunrise, sunset, landscape astrophotography) to work with the weather, always making sure there is enough rest time in between night and potential sunrise sessions.

The group is capped at three participants, which is especially relevant as it ensures valuable tuition time for each group member. This workshop requires participants to be at an amateur level or above with an understanding of using aperture mode or manual ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Also to eliminate the use of a hired minivan and often inadequate tyres, as no hire firms fit winter tyres as even in the Scottish winter, they are not required by UK law.  Snow chains will also be on board to ensure location work regardless of the weather.

The terrain will involve walking over uneven and boggy ground by both night and day, slippy rocks, and high cliffs, so a relatively good fitness level is required.

The accommodation booked is a high-end private property with four en-suite bedrooms, large kitchen, dining area and front room, in the heart of Skye (Portree) providing excellent access to the island’s locations.

Ollie issues a recommended equipment list out to the group several months before the workshop, but for any further information, please contact Ollie here.
