Press release: 'Dawn 2 Dusk photography' is run by professional landscape photographers, and Digital SLR Photography contributors, Mark Bauer and Ross Hoddinott. Mark is renowned for his stunning images of his home county of Dorset and also the New Forest and Ross for his evocative shots of Cornwall and Dartmoor National Park. Together, they have an intimate knowledge of the West Country – not only knowing the most popular and celebrated viewpoints, but the region's 'hidden gems' also. Through years of experience they know just when to visit which location, depending on the season, weather and light… 'Dawn 2 Dusk photography' allows photographers to join Mark and Ross on location. The number of participants is restricted to 12 to ensure that the workshops always remain friendly, relaxed and personal. Also, the advantage of having two leaders is that you can guarantee that either Mark (a Canon user) or Ross (a Nikon user) will always be nearby when you need advice or a professional opinion – regardless of whether you shoot film or digital, or whether you are an experienced photographer or just starting out. New Workshop: West Cornwall: 6-9 November 2008. The rugged Cornish coastline is among the most beautiful and photogenic in the UK. Participants will be staying at the Mount Haven hotel (www.mounthaven.co.uk) in Marazion for 3 nights. The hotel overlooks St Michael's Mount – one of Cornwall's most stunning and recognizable landmarks. Breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal will also be provided, with the hotel boasting one of the most popular restaurants in the area. There are just too many great locations in West Cornwall to photograph in such a short time, but during the workshop we will photograph the view of St Michael's Mount from picturesque Marazion beach, visit the quaint fishing village of Mousehole and shoot the stunning sandy bay at Sennen. Porth Nanvan is one of the best locations in Cornwall. It is a designated SSSI, due to its wonderful round granite boulders – or dinosaur eggs as the locals refer to them – and unusual rock formations, so our visit will be one of the highlights of the 3 day tour. During November, the light can be stunning and dramatic. The days are still long enough to visit several locations each day, yet short enough to ensure we're back at the hotel after sunset in time to eat, relax and share a drink or two… There will also be an evening slideshow, with Mark and Ross showcasing their favourite scenic images, and also the opportunity to have your portfolio reviewed… so please bring along a selection of your work. Transport is provided, but numbers are limited to a maximum of 12. Cost is £540.00, with a £135.00 deposit required at the time of booking. To book, please call: 01202 518734 or email: markbauer_photography@yahoo.co.uk. Dorset workshop: Dorset Coastline: 20-23 November 2008. Dorset boasts one of the most stunning stretches of coastline in the UK and in 2001 this 'Jurassic' coast was awarded World Heritage status. The winter months can offer perfect light for scenic photography, with dramatic sunrises and sunsets. Participants will enjoy and photograph some of the most striking and photogenic locations in the area, including Charmouth and Golden Cap, Kimmeridge and Lulworth Cove. Weather permitting, we will be taking pictures from dawn to dusk and Mark and Ross will provide expert advice on all aspects of landscape photography – including composition, exposure and filter use. The package includes three nights stay at the Purbeck House Hotel in Swanage, (www.purbeckhousehotel.co.uk) with breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal included. There will be evening slideshows and the opportunity to have your portfolio reviewed. Transport is provided, but numbers are limited to a maximum of 12. Cost is £540.00, with a £135.00 deposit required at the time of booking. To book, please call: 01288 321328 or email: info@rosshoddinott.co.uk
