Workshop with IGPOTY founder at Lacock Abbey

Hello,

I am emailing you to let you know about an interesting workshop that could be of interest to your members and is taking place on 10 May at Lacock, with the founder of the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition, Philip Smith.

The course under the title ‘Better plant and garden photography’ and topics covered include macro, depth of field, composition, digital processing and learning about light and colour. It’s suitable for all abilities and a chance for you to question and explore your whole approach to garden photography. The workshop is more about exploration and discovery than it is taking wonderful pictures on the day. Opportunities exist for a one to one chat with the tutor and there will be a guided tour of the IGPOTY display in the Botanic Garden of Lacock Abbey.

The workshop costs £75 per person and lunch is provided. Tickets are very limited so we advise early bookings to avoid disappointment. Box office: 0844 249 1895 or nationaltrust.org.uk. A poster with information is attached.

Workshoppers should bring their camera - full battery and a storage card (any format). If you have a DSLR or compact system camera with interchangeable lenses you will get more out of the day than if you use a simple compact camera.

You might be aware that Lacock Abbey is the birthplace of photography, as William Henry Fox Talbot invented the photographic negative here in 1835.
We celebrate his world-changing invention at Lacock, and our on-site museum has just gotten a makeover:

Thank you for your time. I hope you find this information useful. If you like, please share it with your members and friends.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

With warm wishes,

Kristine
