Photograph­y workshops to return at Moorsline

-

PHOTOGRAPH­ERS are being invited to take part in a series of North Yorkshire Moors Railway workshops – which have returned after last year's lockdown cancellati­on.

Led by profession­al photograph­er, author and teacher John Potter, the one-day workshops are £125 per person and offered at a beginner or intermedia­te level, ensuring suitabilit­y for all skill sets and experience.

Participan­ts will learn how to use a digital camera more creatively and will travel on the heritage railway, visiting key milestones and locations for a variety of photograph­y opportunit­ies, including Pickering and Goathland station. The sessions also include a walk across the moor to a viewing location for photograph­ing trains passing through Darnholm, and working in the Learning Centre. There will be ample opportunit­y to photograph trains and NYMR characters.

Laura Strangeway, NYMR's head of business developmen­t, said: “Last year we were so disappoint­ed that due to the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns our photograph­y workshops were unable to go ahead, which is why, with enhanced social distancing and proper measures in place, we're excited to launch these popular courses once again.

“Thanks to our intimate smaller classes of up to eight participan­ts, the courses are tailored to the needs and desires of the budding photograph­ers, allowing enough time and attention to be given to each person.

“After all, what better way to enhance your skills than with the surroundin­gs of the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors Railway in front of your lens?”

In line with official government guidelines, the courses have been adapted taking into account limited capacity and social distancing.

Attendees are also required to wear a facemask during the workshops.

This course is suitable only for adults aged 18 years and over, and the fee includes train travel and refreshmen­ts.
