My tour stars at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth and ends at South Parade Pier, there is plenty to see and photograph during the walk which is about five miles along the coast. Mainly flat, with some steps and cobbles that can be avoided if needed. There are a number of public toilets and pubs along the way. Make sure you bring a drink, as the only stops that are planned are to take photo's. If you are wanting to spend extra time at certain points along the way, the walk may not reach the pier. Only those that have paid can join the walk, any levels of photography skills are welcome. Ideally you should have a DSLR or bridge camera, although most of the places we will visit can be taken with a mobile phone. Children are welcome as well, just give them a camera of sorts. This course is ideal for the DSLR learner as I can give you training on the basics along the way or even the experienced who want the tour to photograph the sights. I am not a historian, so don't expect a history lesson but I will throw some facts at you. Most of the photo's below were taken with my lightweight Nikon D610 with 28-300mm lens, so you don't need expensive f2.8 lenses, although do come in handy if your feeling arty. I have been a full time press photographer for nearly two decades. Recently leaving the Portsmouth News as picture editor to start my own business. In May this year I won the Regional Daily Photographer of the Year award, capping off a successful career at the paper. I still work for the regional press for two to three days a week and also published in the national press on a regular basis. My availability is limited at short notice as I am very busy, so please contact me to confirm the date you want, then I will open up the booking date, so you can continue with the booking process on this page. I am flexible with the start time, but may suggest a time depending on shipping movements, as the naval ships can make a good photo as they pass the harbour entrance. 29.0+ USD
