THE UNITED KINGDOM
LARGE FORMAT PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
20 - 22 May 2005
Keswick, The Lake District

An informal gathering of large format photographers based in the U.K.
An increasing number of photographers are exploring the more traditional approach to photography and are employing large format cameras in their search for ultimate quality and control over the photographic process.
In response to this resurgence a group of large format enthusiasts have decided to get together at a "gathering" - an informal exchange of information, ideas and practices, together with planned excursions in the area that will hopefully result in a regular meeting of minds on all aspects of using larger formats.
This gathering is open to everyone!
There is no requirement as regards level of experience or expertise. Everyone is welcome to attend for all or part of this weekend - hardened users and complete beginners alike. Especially welcome are those who are thinking of taking the plunge and embarking on the Large Format adventure!
There will be plenty of free advice available!
THERE ARE NO FEES INVOLVED - THIS IS A "FREE" WORKSHOP.
The only costs incurred will be for accommodation, food, travel and any film you use!
