John Eagle Workshops
Spend a day taking pictures on the Beara Peninsula from my viewpoint
 

 

Option 1

Stones and ruins workshop

Lost ruins

This is the most popular workshop, as we go up into the hills and explore forests in search of ruins

ruins

and standing stones

Stones

It is a good walk, and involves going up hill, and the views are very rewarding

Stones and Ruins Workshop €75

Please tell me the day that suits you best

Option 2

Dursey Island

Dursey

We take ireland's only cable car across the swirling currents of Dursey Sound then walk the island in search of whales, animals and relics. Very few cars makes walking the roads blissful and with the sea always close by there are plenty of pictures to be taken

Dursey roads

Dursey island Workshop €75 voucher

Please tell me the day that suits you best

 
 

 

Or we can tailor the workshop to something you would like to do. Other options include taking a slow walk into lenbeg or Glanmore to photograph the lakes and mountains. Glanmore in May is lovely with the rhododendron bushes in flower. Or we could visiting harbours like Ballycrovane below.

Pictures like Ballycrovane, above, need to be carefully approached to the boats, house and sky are at their premium. Sometimes all it takes is waiting around for half-hour. We will go off and shoot something else while we wait for the sky to look its best.  
  lily.......lily  
  Note how the lily on the left is the only thing in focus, whereas the picture the right all is in focus. This is a very simple example of a technique that can make pictures that bit better.  
  Pocket  
  Leave the madding crowds behind and spend a day with me exploring Beara to get the most out of your camera. We will go through what you take and discuss the images.  
  Rush Hour  
  Rush hour here, above, can be much more satisfying  
 

 

The Photography Workshop runs from 9am to 3pm and costs €75 per person

Maybe you would like to take some pictures of lighthouses. I am the author of two books

Note: If you wish to go to Dursey Island the cable car starts at 9.00am and carries maximum of 6. It takes 10 to 20 minutes for each crossing. Workshop price does not include the cable car cost. There are no refreshments on the island, or means of transport, please take this into consideration. It is however a fabulous place for taking pictures

If you would like to stay on Beara I can arrange a B&B for you. I recommend 2 B&Bs The Coulagh Bay House, and Foromanes House both close to Eyeries

Many people wishing to do workshops with me stay at the Anam Cara Artists and Writers Retreat

Please note, for the time being I am not doing any painting workshops. This for personal reasons
