Colin Prior's name is synomous with Scottish & Global wild landscapes - his breathtaking photographic images, captured throughout the seasons, promote the raw beauty of the Highlands and have established him as the country's leading landscape photographer.
Now photographers looking to improve their skills, can benefit first-hand from this knowledge by booking onto one of his photography school courses.
I recently spend 5 days with 6 other enthusiasts in the North-west Highlands doing just this. Each day we toured the wild & ancient landscape of Assynt & Sutherland, catching the very best of the Autumn colours under Colin's expert eye, & visiting the best viewpoints Suitable for all levels of experience, the course's practical activities are complimented by daily tutorials from him on how to take the perfect image.
Whatever your degree of photography expertise, you'll come away feeling that your hobby skills have been 're-born' to an extent. Whilst advice on the technical aspects is always available, you'll learn as much about the 'art' side, such as image composition and the effect of light on the landscape.
Visit Colin Prior's Photography School Website for details on his 2008 courses throughout the Highlands. Tariffs include high-quality guest-house accommodation & full-board meals. Combined with the level of tuition provided, it's excellent value-for-money.
