Explore magical New Forest in the autumn, capturing ancient woodland to open heathland, lakes, rivers and coastal scenery to an abundance of wildlife - it offers something for everyone. This 2 night photography break allows you to capture the autumn colours, led by a professional photographer and tour leader in a small group.
Runs on: 11th - 13th November 2022
This two night photography break has been carefully crafted by a professional photographer and experienced tour leader so that you experience the very best that the New Forest has to offer.
Whether you’re a beginner or simply need new inspiration, each day is packed with sights and subjects chosen to give even a seasoned traveller something new to discover.
During the hours of hands-on tuition, you’ll have the opportunity to shoot both in the forest during misty mornings or sunsets, and diverse views including water, land, and ancient buildings to bring something new to your collection.
Your photography tutor, Pat, will bring along some extra tools for the trade if you would like to try something new. Bear in mind there is no editing on this holiday; you are encouraged to identify daily life in a new way to vastly improve your skills and enjoy your time in this stunning area.
You’ll stay in the Woodlands Lodge Hotel right on the edge of the forest, carefully chosen for its comfort, modern facilities and lovely gardens to wander around.
3-star hotel accommodation with on site Hunter's Restaurant.
1 to 1 hands-on expert tuition and guidance.
Includes a day in the forest and the Georgian market town of Lymington.

Woodlands Lodge Hotel
– Enjoy a full day of photography exploring the different landscapes and capturing the abundance of colour in the forest.
– During the day we will view the forest vistas from high points in the north west, as well as getting deep into the forest, walking among the trees, finding hidden lakes, exploring the open heathland and, hopefully, encountering the wildlife.
– The morning will begin with a stroll from Milford-on-Sea along the coast and Keyhaven estuary, enjoying views of the Needles and the Isle of Wight and the salt marshes.
– Later you’ll explore the Georgian market town of Lymington, taking in its pretty, narrow streets and harbour filled with fishing boats and yachts.
– Both days will begin, weather permitting, with the opportunity to get out early and enjoy the dawn light, taking either sunrises or morning mists in the forest.

I very much enjoyed the lesson; learning about composition, considerations as to lighting, and about my own camera phone capabilities! It was nice to learn that sometimes you just cannot get the shot you want and how to make the best of it, as on the workshop day when the weather was very grey and overcast. I certainly learnt some new skills without feeling 'blinded by science' (or terminology), and liked that advice was given to each person at their level of skill as we walked around. We were not just a group all doing the same thing. Above all, it was friendly and encouraging, which is just what a beginner like myself was looking for.
