Summary -
John McKenna will provide guidance on landscape photography around The Devil’s Pulpit for up to six photographers.
Please note that there will be some scrambling involved in order to reach the Pulpit via the steep stone staircase.
John McKenna will provide guide services to and from each viewpoint and will be on hand to offer photographic hints and tips. No formal photography tutorials will be offered while on location but every attempt will be made to ensure each photographer has the opportunity to spend some 1-2-1 time with John during the course of the morning.
Itinerary
The day will begin just before sunrise at the start of the path to the Pulpit (meet up approximately 07:00) - we will make our way to the access point of Finnich Glen just after sunrise and from there tackle the decent into the glen.
We will explore and photograph this section of the glen for approximately 2 hours then we will exit the Glen (again via the steep stone staircase) and move further downstream where we will spend another 2 hours exploring and photographing this lesser known section of the Glen.
Participants will be responsible for their own overnight accommodation (if required) and their own transport to and from each location.
Parking charges, lunch, snacks and any other non-specified expenses are not included in the workshop fee.
Participants will be responsible for their own insurance.
Total cost for guided workshop (4hrs): £100 per person - previous workshop attendees using supplied discount code: £75 per person.
Recommended footwear and protective clothing
Conditions in Scotland in late September can be unpredictable. Rivers which are normally passable with care may become impassable at short notice, while snow falls and heavy rain pose a constant risk.
At all times the prevailing weather conditions will dictate the availability of each location. Shoots may be cancelled or cut-short should weather conditions deteriorate while on location
Where shoots are cancelled due to weather conditions, attendees will receive a credit for use on future workshops.
No refunds will be given due to cancellation caused by poor weather.
It is recommended that all persons taking the workshop wear appropriate waterproof footwear for walking on wet, slippery and potentially icy rocks. Waterproof and thermal clothing is highly recommended as are accessories such as gloves, hat and snood / face protection.
Spare, dry clothing should be available wherever possible.
Please note: the descent into the glen is steep and potentially slippery underfoot. It is often easier to descent on all fours and so a change of clothing for afterwards is recommended.
Cancellation
Free cancellation of the trip is possible until September 19th. (Refund value: £100 (£75 for attendees using previous workshop discount))
Cancellation of the trip after midnight (UK time) on September 19th shall incur a fee of £50 to cover incurred costs. (Refund value: £50 (£25 for attendees using previous workshop discount))
Insurance
All insurance, including camera insurance, health insurance and travel insurance is the responsibility of workshop participants. John McKenna accepts no liability for accidental loss, injury or damage however caused.
