Watch out for our courses soon in the Lake District. Simon Watkinson ABIPP, the Director of the business will be heading up to Keswick in the Lakes for 3 nights next week to cover the area and do a thorough reccie on hotels and areas to visit before launching our photo holiday there early November 2008. The main tutor who will be running that course will be Karen Frenkel. We have been running courses in the Peaks now for over 4 years and despite  having branched out overseas into Nepal, Morocco and India demand from our guests have led us to thinking about running courses in other parts of England. With Simon Watkinson, Fran Halsall, Karen Frenkel, Mark Wood, Alex Hyde and Mike Williams all having their own special place of interest in the UK, we will be building on this to venture further afield. We are aware that existing clients may not want to come back to the Peaks but would venture elsewhere as we always get fantastic feedback about all of our tutors.

Peak District Photography Centre

We are so busy keeping up with the demands of you photographers - technology is developing rapidly with new cameras, new software etc. This forces us photographers to invest in upgrades continuously. Not so good for the pocket maybe?

We here at the Peak District Photography Centre are in the process of upgrading all our emac computers with top of the range imac Intel 2 Ghz computers as well as investing in Lightroon software; a virtual one stop photography editing package primarily for Raw files. As raw file editing packages become easier to use more of us are turning to Raw as the 'new file format'. Understanding how Raw files work can be confusing but understanding how they can benefit you can be even more so!
