By Michael St Maur Sheil. Ypres Salient: 1914 - 1918. This course will be based around Ypres in Flanders: held by the British for the duration of the First World War it represented some of the most fiercely contested terrain along the entire Western Front and even today its fields annually yield about 200 tons of unexploded munitions. At first glance the only immediate signs of that horror are the numerous cemeteries. Tynecot - the largest British war cemetery in the world. Hollandseschuur No 3 Crater.

Graduated neutral density filters are a real advantage as they enable you to control the contrast between the ground and the sky. Tripod head quick release plates - they enable you to switch cameras easily and safely even when your hands are cold. Site by Geza Turi.

Landscape Photography Courses: Frequently Asked Questions

http://www.landscapephotographycourses.com/2009/04/faq.html

By Michael St Maur Sheil. Is there much walking? Obviously there will be some walking but most locations are within easy reach of roads. I find that most landscape photographers are pretty fit anyhow. Is this just going to be a boring hist. No - history properly taught is never boring because these battlefields are the story of all our families! I love going to battlefields but I'm not a very good photographer. Technically will it be. Too advanced for me? Site by Geza Turi.

Landscape Photography Courses: Accommodation

http://www.landscapephotographycourses.com/2007/04/accommodation.html

By Michael St Maur Sheil. Apoleon, who knew more than most about battlefields, said ‘an army marches on it’s stomach’. So whilst battlefields are seldom locations chosen for their splendid hotels, landscape photographers also need their comforts so an essential part of these courses are comfortable hotels, generally 3 star, where after a day in the field one can relax over a glass of wine with good food and discuss the days results.
