You will learn how to capture those magic moments in time and how to make the most of every opportunity. You will learn how to prepare for the unexpected and how to anticipate pictures BEFORE they happen. Philip will reveal many professional 'tricks of the trade' to enable you to achieve pictures you thought you could never capture.

All this is done in comfortable surroundings with illustrated talks and practical hands-on photography sessions in and around the town.

All levels.

Philip Dunn discussing the day's pictures with students atf the Selkirk Hotel, Kirkcudbright

Accommodation
You will stay at the comfortable Selkirk Arms Hotel in Kirkcudbright, Scotland's Artists' Town. This excellent 3 star hotel has a well-earned reputation for its fine food. All your meals including breakfast, lunch and dinner for two nights are included in the price. So, too, is morning coffee, afternoon tea and a welcome drink when you arrive on Friday evening.

Non-participant partners welcome

Plan for the weekend
You will arrive at the Selkirk Arms on Friday evening. We will meet for an informal welcoming drink (included) so that we can get to know each other before you go for dinner in the hotel's fine restaurant.

On Saturday morning I like to explain a way of working that can revolutionize the way you see pictures. After an early lunch we will set off on our chosen assignment and I will work alongside you offering tuition and encouragement. I will always be on hand so that you can ask questions and get instant help.

Sunday - much of the day will be spent with detailed critiques of your work and answering your questions, possibly with a final illustrated talk. But if the weather is glorious we may all go out together and take more photographs with tuition. Whatever happens, you will be given a greater understanding of photography and how to achieve better results - every time. You will be able to apply a 'system' that will always produce more effective images - and you will also have had a wonderful weekend break.
