Coastal photography 1 - Donaghadee harbour, County Down - 1pm - 2 hours
Think Different!
Donaghadee is a well loved and popular spot, photographed many times by many people. But I hope to begin to show you how to at least try to take a fresh approach with the familiar.
If you have a wide-angle lens (18 or 24mm is good) bring it along. Bring a telephoto too if you have one.
Take your time. There’s no need to take hundreds of shots at this session, it’s all about taking the time to see the subject.

Street Photography Meet up - St Anne's Square - 11am - 2 hours
Street photography can be addictive, but also frustrating at times! When there’s so much going on in front of your camera, it can be hard to pick out what to focus on and shoot.
In this session we’ll be looking at how to separate a good photo story from the noise, and how to improve the photos you take when out and about with your camera.
A session looking at capturing everyday life in an urban setting and using photography for storytelling. Suitable for complete beginners.
