Street Photography workshop - Birmingham
The aim - will be to improve our understanding of the key settings for street work in a practical and non competitive way that allows everyone to progress at their pace, supported 1:1 as well as in the group
The Location - Birmingham - our second city. Birmingham probably has our broadest spread of architecture, culture and people the UK has to offer with so many opportunities to practice and improve our photography. Our starting base will be New Street station- beneath the clock and information boards, where else? This workshop will start at new street at 10.30am and aim to finish around 3.30-4pm.
Important aspects.
Fitness levels – We will be walking around he city between locations but a reasonable level of fitness or mobility will be fine.
Photographic kit – street work is mostly handheld so no need for tripods or long lenses, we will tend to need faster settings. Alongside your camera and lenses, spare batteries and memory cards and a polarizing filter (reflections abound in city centres)if you have one will be fine
Clothing – we are going to be on foot so you should work on layers (always a good idea). A waterproof coat is advised – and comfy boots or walking shoes.. T shirts and fleeces are a good idea as it could be chilly or hot, often in the same hour.
Personal insurance – talking of everything being covered you might want to take out personal insurance (if you don’t have a policy already) to cover your payment if you are not able to come at the last minute as well as insurance for any damage/loss to your kit.
We will fit in a cafe or tea stop during the day.
If all of the above is included What’s not
• Travel to and from Birmingham
• All meals, drinks and snacks.
• Personal and equipment insurance
So, there you are, a great chance to enjoy developing your photography and take in the wonderful main and backstreets of Birmingham having some fun.
