Photography Workshop at Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa

A very belated post on one of 2011's photography workshops - but I couldn't resist sharing some of the beautiful images we were able to capture during the workshop.

With no fancy equipment or jargon, attendees were given tips and advice on how to improve their photography by looking at composition, planning your own photo shoot and lots little gems to get the best out of your little one in a fun, more relaxed manner.

Following a morning exploring camera settings, the meaning of exposure and getting to grips with moving away from auto - all these new found skills were put into action with a 'real' photo shoot to practise and seek further advice / guidance.

It was a wonderful day, with a great group of people and a perfect family to photograph. Thank you to all that took part, good luck with your photography and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

The next workshop will be taking place on Saturday 24th March 2012 - so if you know anyone who would be interested in this type of workshop - let them know! Or, even better - gift vouchers are available.

A great day was had by all and I must apologise again for hogging all those wonderful cookies!

Rock Your Shots ~ Photography Workshops For Parents...Launch!

Last month saw the launch of the ‘Rock Your Shots ~ Photography Workshops’ for parents at the beautiful Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel and Spa in Usk. I’m thrilled to say that the whole event was a huge success and we’ve already booked another date for September!

Everyone who attended the workshop had a fabulous time and left with a goody bag, workbook and some beautiful pictures on their camera from the mini photoshoot that we had at the end of the session.

I’d like to thank everyone who attended. I really appreciate all the encouragement, support and kind words. To give you an idea of what people thought, here’s what Fiona said:
“I attended the recent “Rock Your Shots” session taught by Sarah Stone. The course is perfect if you if you want to gain more confidence in using the various setting on your camera. I thought the presentation slides and booklet were excellent. Sarah’s patience and relaxed style made me feel I could ask any question no matter how simple or complicated. I loved putting the new skills straight into action with a mini photo shoot and the little goodie bag was a lovely touch.”
