Join Adam in the beautiful Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, formerly known as the Brecon Beacons, for a 3 day Discovery Tour. Bannau Brycheiniog is an area that Adam knows very well, having photographed the national park throughout four seasons for a coffee table book published in 2010.
On this tour, we will prioritise the beautiful rolling countryside, mountains and lakes on the eastern side of the national park, while also venturing over to explore the renowned waterfall area near Ystradfellte. As well as shooting the popular landscape photography locations such as Llangorse Lake and the Llangattock Escarpment, Adam will also guide you to many of the national park's lesser known vistas. With the possibility of morning mist, seasonal colours, elegant waterfalls and rich autumnal light Bannau Brycheiniog is at its best during Autumn, while the shorter day length means we don't have such early starts and late finishes.
Our tour begins at midday on the first day, where after an initial short briefing we will head out for the rest of the day. For the following two days we will aim to be shooting from sunrise through to sunset, returning to the hotel after sunrise for breakfast before heading out again late morning for the rest of the day.
With a maximum group number of only four participants, our chosen locations will be uncrowded ensuring everybody has access to shoot that special viewpoint. Adam will encourage you to fully explore each location to find your own viewpoints and compositions, while helping you capture beautiful landscape photographs.
Our tours are aimed at everybody, from beginners looking for advice and encouragement through to experienced photographers wishing only to be guided to locations. With such a small group, you can be assured of Adam’s attention, support and feedback throughout each location we visit.
Please note: This tour has been classified as requiring a moderate level of fitness. Being a mountain area, several locations require uphill walks to reach the best viewpoints. While steep in some places, the locations we will shoot from involve walks of no more than 20-30 minutes at most.
Accommodation
During this workshop, we will be based based at the Manor Hotel in Crickhowell. Situated on the edge of the charming and elegant market town of Crickhowell, the family-owned Manor Hotel boasts unparalleled views of the surrounding valley and the ancient fortress of Table Mountain. Each guest will enjoy single occupancy in a double bedroom with en-suite facilities. For more information about the hotel please visit the hotel website.

Recommendations
"Adam, you are extremely gifted and a wonderful teacher and communicator. Thanks for leading us through those difficult weather conditions so positively."
Gillian, Faroe Islands Workshop
"I had an absolutely awesome day with you and learned loads as well as visiting some simply stunning locations that I am itching to visit again with hopefully some more dramatic sea and sky elements. It was great to spend time with you learning and I hope that I can continue to put it into practice in my photography."
Duncan, 1-2-1 Tuition Day
"Excellent drone tutorial with Adam Burton. Covered not just how to fly the drone safely and efficiently, but also how to use the camera on board (Mavic 2). Really great tuition that left me able to take control and start to think about composition - highly recommended."
Kevin, 1-2-1 Drone Tuition Day
"Just a wee email to thank you once again for a totally brilliant workshop, and for all your patience with my compositional efforts! I learned vastly more from you in the last three days than I have from all the other workshops I've been to combined."
Eric, Northumberland Discovery Tour
