Hi all,

Happy New Year to you all and our start to the 2016 programme should be fun with a model shoot at the hall.

We will have studio set ups for a single light, a double light as well as an outside Speedlite setup so there should be plenty of creative opportunity for you.

Model wise we have booked Nix and Matt, who worked with us at the Tree Cathedral in July, and Em Theresa who also worked with us last summer

You should have received an email from me asking you to confirm your attendance so that I can gauge the numbers and divide you into 3 groups that will rotate around the sets during the evening. This is to avoid the dreaded 'scrum' that can occur without a wee bit of control being in place. If you haven't seen the email then you can access the link here:

See you all on the 7th

For those interested in joining us on our merry little jaunt to the South Coast on Sunday December 6th here's a rough itinerary for the day.

06:45 - 07:00 Arrive

Seaford Head Car park.

Meet at the public car park at Seaford Head.

Allow roughly 2 1/2 hours for the drive from Milton Keynes to Seaford.

Post Code - BN25 4AR
OS grid reference - TV 50485 98042
Map Coordinates - N 50.762548 E 0.132311

07:15 - 09:45 Sunrise

Seaford Coastguard Cottages/Hope Gap.

Sunrise is around 07:45 but we'll want to get into position in good time, especially if last Sunday's sunrise is anything to go by. The colour started to develop well before the sun actually broke the horizon.

Once the sun has actually risen we'll spend the next 2 1/2 hours to explore Hope Gap & Seaford Head.

High tide coincides with sunrise so with a little bit of luck we should be able to catch a few shots as the tide recedes.

10:00 - 11:00 Breakfast

the Pavilion Cafe, Seaford.

(Opposite Morrisons, Dane Road, Seaford, BN25 1DJ)
We'll take a break for a full English breakfast at the Pavilion Cafe, but be warned they only accept cash, no credit/debit cards.

11:00 - 14:00 Midday.

Burling Gap & the Belle Tout Lighthouse

From Seaford we'll head over to Burling Gap and take a short walk up to the Belle Tout Lighthouse and a reverse view of the Seven Sisters, taking in the view back towards Seaford.

(Please note I'm not planning on taking a break for lunch so if you think you'll get hungry during the day then you might like to bring a packed lunch & you can dig in when you feel like.)

14:30 - 16:30 Sunset

Seaford Coastguard Cottages/Hope Gap.

We'll return to Seaford head & Hope Gap to explore the area with the light coming from a different direction. Sunset is around 15:57 but hopefully the colour will last well beyond that time, and we may even be able to shoot into the Blue hour.

So that's the basic plan, now we just gotta hope that we get some decent weather & light.
