Seascapes & Sunsets in Llandudno - Roving Photographic Academy Evening

Piers & Promenades in Llandudno – A WelshotRewards Day

Piers and Promenades, this photographic adventure will have it all, from architecture to artistic angles, from North Shore to West Shore, this WelshotRewards Day for Members is the perfect day for those who like to be out and about with their camera capturing the beauty of the world around them. Llandudno, Queen of the Resorts has it all for the photographer – historic piers, photogenic promenades lined on one side with a wide open expanse of the Llandudno North Shore, to the Victorian listed buildings that will provide you with the features of the colourful architecture. After photographing the pier and bay, we will then move to West Shore and there you will find rock pools and sandy beaches with a backdrop of the Welsh hills and Anglesey in distance – from which the sun will set behind, hopefully giving us a wonderful golden hour, a colourful sunset and magnificent light in what photographers call the blue hour. If you want to set yourself a bit of a photographic challenge – we’ve got just the one for you!

Still-Life in Miniature – Close-Up Photography

Do you love still-life photography? No room for the big studio set-ups or space to house those larger props? Then this event is going to be perfect for you! The idea for this Welshot, Still-Life in Miniature event was born from a visit of some friends to Anglesey in North Wales – the weather was too bad for any of the nature photography they’d hoped for but they’d packed their car with all manner of props, backdrops, fabric and flowers – all of the miniature (think Dolls House) size. Once you’ve picked your props, it’s time to learn how to style and compose your photo – from using natural light to continuous photographic lighting this is the perfect indoors table top photographic project.

From mastering your long exposure techniques (in VERY low-light conditions) on the shores of the Llandudno Bay, to painting with light – outside, on location and in the warmth of the Welshot Creative Hub where you will be able to find out how you can easily make some really cool gadgets that give you some really cool results. Did we mention fun?
