6:00 - 7:00pm
Bruce will present a talk on his approach to landscape photography and give an outline of what the week has in store.
7:00 - 9:00pm
Dinner with the group, hosted by Bruce
MAY Daily Schedule
The days are long in May. This makes it very hard for morning photography so this trip has been designed to take advantage of the long evenings where we will be shooting till late. We will have the morning off each day so we are fully refreshed. We'll spend two to three hours a day doing critiques and there'll be plenty of free time too, for you to do what you want on your own.
8:30 - 9:30am
Breakfast.
9:30am - 12:30pm
On location for shooting.
12:30pm - 1:30pm
Hotel light lunch of sandwiches & image selection for critique.
1:30pm - 3:30pm
Free time.
3:30pm - 5:30pm
Critique session & digital workflow. We will select two shots from each member to discuss and I will show you how the image may be improved and the steps involved from RAW file to final print.
6:15pm - 7:15pm
Dinner with the group, hosted by Bruce
7:15pm - 10:00pm
On location for sunset.The evening light tends to go on and on, giving us plenty of time to capture some golden evening summer light.
NOVEMBER Daily Schedule
In November, days are short, but this has its advantages: no early morning starts, and no late evenings. Easier on the body clock. The sun never gets too high in the sky either, thus producing some really stunning light.
7:00 - 9:00am
Many of the scienic locations on Harris are in the south of the Island. We have many beaches and also some very rugged scenery to photograph, so we will be heading out each morning in search of one of the many fine locations on the island.
9:00 - 10:00am
Breakfast. Back to the hotel for some food and wamth before taking an hour out of our schedule to relax, have a shower, take a rest.
10:00 - 12:00pm
Critique session & digital workflow. We will select two shots from each member to discuss and I will show you how the image may be improved and the steps involved from RAW file to final print.
12:00 - 3:00pm
The light can be stunning on Harris at any time of year. Dramatic weather can really add to the locations and each afternoon we will revisit some of the locations we shot during the special morning light.
3:00 - 5:00pm
On location for sunset.
7:00 - 8:00pm
Dinner with the group, hosted by Bruce

Ferry
Caledonian MacBrayne offer daily sailings to Tarbert from Uig on Skye and also to Stornoway from Ullapool.
