 Difficulty Level: Easy

As one of the world's leading outdoor photographers, Colin Prior's panoramic images have inspired many of us for years. During the weekend, Colin will share the philosophy and techniques that he has developed from working in some of the world's wildest places.

As well as the theory, you'll have the opportunity to put into practise what you've learned in some of the stunning locations that the Tay Valley has to offer. Hilton Dunkeld House is perfectly situated to offer comfortable ccommodation, good food and accessible photographic locations.

For those keen to shoot during the 'Magic Hours' there will be the opportunity of rising before dawn to catch a sunrise (weather permitting) and returning to the Hotel to catch breakfast. (not compulsory)
