This course is quite intensive and a bit strenuous, but most of the walks are on flat grounds, so a reasonable level of fitness will be required. Our aim is for you to leave the course with a much better knowledge and understanding of the subject but also with a great experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life. And most importantly, with a few very good images that you will be proud of.
This course will run again in 2011

Let’s get a few facts straight here. When we talk about Gower, we talk about Gower and not THE Gower or the Gower peninsula, full stop. Please refer to it as Gower when talking to locals.
Jokes aside, this is a splendid part of Wales and it feels more like an island than a peninsula. The whole area is less than 20 miles wide, extending from Swansea on the east to Rhossili bay on the west but oh boy, does it offer abundance of photo opportunities.
The best time as I recently discovered is in low tide, as the beauty of bays is uncovered, revealing spectacular rock pools and rugged but highly photogenic cliff faces. Composed of limestone, the peninsula has scenic cliffs and numerous caves, many of which contain Paleolithic and Bronze Age relics. One can spend hours if not days, just on west side as Rhossili bay, Mewslade bay and worm’s head, all offer a landscape photographer THE experience of a life time.
Gower’s rugged coastline, holds a plethora of stunning vistas, waiting for us to explore them. The sandy beaches never look the same as the wild and high seas, change there look on a day to day basis.
