John Hooton Images

The Dingle Peninsula is not merely a place to visit —it is a place to experience!
  A two Day Photographic Workshops on the beautiful Dingle Peninsula:-
Experience the beauty of the Dingle Peninsula with award winning photographer John
Hooton. John has an intimate knowledge of locations from sunrise to sunset gained
over many years of photographing the area. The Dingle peninsula is renowned for its
wealth of unspoilt scenery. From the majestic Conor Pass to the rugged Slea Head
drive, miles of ever changing beaches and historic monastic sites offer the
photographer ample opportunity to capture one of Ireland’s most beautiful locations.
These workshops aim to help the photographer with the principles of composition and
exposure when it comes to landscape photography. We look at photographing
landscapes with wide angle lenses and seek out of the way places less visited by
crowds. You will be part of a small, friendly and enthusiastic group of
photographers which ensures that everyone will receive individual attention and
learn at their own pace. Having photographed the Dingle Peninsula extensively over
the past 20 years, I am confident that you will benefit greatly from the knowledge I
have gained about the area.
It is strongly recommended that everyone attending these workshops comes prepared
for the unpredictable Irish weather!! Some of the best photos are to be taken “off
the beaten track” therefore wellies and rain wear are a must. Good walking boots
and warm clothing are also essential. A sturdy tripod is a main part of the
equipment you will need. Also, a good idea is a rugsack for your camera, lenses,
filters etc. We will be spending time on the beach so don’t be afraid to get sandy!
Every participant should have a good working knowledge of their equipment.
The timetable for each weekend varies according to the weather but as a rough guide,
participants should arrive by 8.00 p.m. on the Friday night when John will give a
run through of the weekend activities. Saturday morning will begin with a short
lecture from John showing some of his images and discussing light etc and the
techniques he uses. Then its out to the first location. There will be a break for
tea during the morning then its on to the second location. Following a lunch break
of approximately 2 hours we will continue on to more locations finishing up on Slea
Head for the sunset. On arrival back at the house there will be light refreshments
and John will then give another short talk and there will be a discussion on the
days events. Sunday morning begins early and we will be up for the sunrise. There
will be a break for tea and then our final destination will be some of the monastic
sites on the peninsula.
Courses are restricted to a maximum of 6 people ensuring personal attention at all
times. Accommodation is on a bed and continental breakfast basis. You will be
staying in our 4* holiday house and each person will have a private bedroom.
