We will set off daily directly from our accommodation to the various photo locations in Snowdonia National Park & North West Wales. Depending on the weather, we will photograph in the early morning at sunrise and in the evening at sunset when the light is best.

Countless impressive photo opportunities await you on this trip. Snowdonia National Park is a dream for anyone who loves to photograph landscapes. We visit spectacular river courses, dramatic waterfalls, idyllic lakes, and picturesque villages. Anglesey in North West Wales is known for its stunning coastal scenery, magnificent beaches, and lighthouses.

For whom is this photo tour suitable?

This photo tour is aimed at both beginners and advanced photographers. You have a basic knowledge of shutter speed, aperture and ISO and are able to set these on your camera. On this photo tour, you will be individually supervised according to your photography skills.

Weather

In Wales, the probability of experiencing all four seasons in one day is quite high. It is precisely these rapidly changing weather conditions that can be extremely exciting for photographing the landscapes. Fantastic lighting moods are created, and the shots immediately take on more drama.

Travel time November

November is a great month to explore North Wales photographically. On the one hand, the weather is particularly changeable now, which can make for fantastic light moods, and on the other hand, sunrise and sunset take place at very pleasant times. Temperatures during the day are between 5 – 10 degrees.

Fitness level

The trip is not particularly physically demanding. However, you should be fit enough to take part in short, moderate walks on the local hiking trails and be sure-footed. The hiking trails in Wales (if they exist at all) can be somewhat uneven or boggy in places, as they usually lead through moorland and heathland or along streams and ravines. Many photo locations are easily accessible by car or a short hike. Certain locations may involve a walking time of around 1 hour per route. The hiking trails are mostly on flat terrain or involve a slight incline.

Programme of the photo workshop

To ensure that you can capture images at the right time with the right light in the golden and blue hours, we will be out and about for around 4 hours each, especially at sunrise and sunset times. In between, you will have time at your own disposal to rest a little, explore the surroundings or, if you wish, take part in image discussions and tutorials.

Insurance

We strongly advise you to purchase insurance for cancellation and return journey costs, which will be needed in the event of a secluded region being evacuated, a local hospital stay or return travel costs to your home country.
