Photographic walks with photographers Kevin O’Brien & John Barron

If you fancy a stroll around some of Scotland, The Borders and Northumberland’s most beautiful places and you want to learn to capture those wonderful landscapes in the process then Walking with Cameras is for you. Do you really know how to use your camera? Chances are you have it set to auto and you just point and shoot. How many times have you gone home disappointed with the photographs you have taken? Come on a walk with us, well, more of a meander really, stopping at various places on route taking in the scenery and at the same time learning the basics of your camera, learning how to frame an image, how to expose it and get that shot in your camera so you can go home and show it off to your friends and family.

The walk will begin with refreshments and a brief introductory chat about your hopes for the day. We will then embark on a ‘circular’ tour of the area stopping for lunch and finishing where we began (hopefully) for a brief resumé of the day.

Meeting time will be 10.00 am at a previously arranged point with an aim to finish at 5.00pm
