What weโre about
If you love landscape and wildlife photography then UK Photo Tours has you covered.
[UK-Photo-Tours.com](https://uk-photo-tours.com)
UK Photo Tours draws from the experience of running over 100 photo tours, workshops, and special photographic events since 2015, so you can just relax and focus on taking home amazing shots from stunning surroundings in the company of like-minded photographers.
Providing expert tuition as we chase the light for the best photographic opportunities in each location, you'll return not just with great photos but having improved your knowledge of photography, no matter what your level. Nothing makes us happier than hearing how much our participants enjoyed the tours and how much they learned!
UK Photo Tours provides transport from London, accommodation, expertise, and have an assortment of pro-grade photo gear that participants can borrow to help get those memorable shots.
Under UK Photo Tours, we run multi-day tours and workshops, traveling to Englandโs picturesque Lake District, photograph nightscapes in Norfolk, rugged Jurassic Coast in Dorset, and Scotlandโs incredible Isle of Skye and Glencoe for the breathtaking scenery.
Our wildlife workshops venture to some of the most spectacular wildlife locations in the UK, such as witnessing the birth of Atlantic Grey Seal Pups in Norfolk, charismatic Puffins on the Farne Islands, and the Norfolk Snettisham Spectacular, where over 100,000 wading birds take to the air.
We offer a variety of popular day trips during the year, including:
Stonehenge at sunset
Bodiam Castle
Vintage Airshows
Medieval Jousting
...and we offer workshops on macro photography, astrophotography (including moon photography), bubble photography, and water drop photography.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon.

See all- Perseid Meteor Shower Workshop, 6-day / 5-night (incl trans/accom)West Acton, Londonยฃ50.00
Join us for an amazing 6-day / 5-night photo tour capturing the Milky Way and a meteor shower!
This year, we're heading to Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, our dark sky destination of choice for the Perseid Meteor Shower.
Return transport from London plus accommodation on a farm in Cornwall is included.
With the meteor shower visible over several nights, we'll have the opportunity to take unique shots of the sky at various locations whilst practising our Milky Way photos. Additionally, we'll keep an eye out for the rare and unique phenomenon of noctilucent clouds during the tour.
Our base for this tour is Haye Cornwall, a vegan farmstead retreat for rescue animals, including ponies from the moor, beach-ride donkeys, and battery hen chickens who all deserved a better life. By staying at this location, we'll be helping with the costs of the animals' welfare.
We'll be situated just a few minutes' drive from Bodmin Moor - the largest part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and designated an International Dark-Sky landscape in July 2017.
The Hurlers standing stones, a Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age series of stone circles over 2,000 years old, is one of our location options.
Nearby are several old derelict tin mines, which are perfect foreground elements for night sky photography. Scaling up to The Cheesewring, an interesting arrangement of stacked smooth stones above the Moor is another option.
During the tour, we'll also have the opportunity to explore other attractions such as the rapids of Golitha Falls and the rugged south coast beaches. If the skies prove to be troublesome for astrophotography, we'll still be able to make the most of our daytime by exploring the unique and stunning landscapes and seascapes.
Our astrophotography workshop offers you comprehensive knowledge and technical skills to capture awe-inspiring shots of the Perseid Meteor Shower. We'll teach you how to plan your shoots, what camera settings to use, and how to enhance your photographs with post-processing software.
I'll have multiple highly regarded astrophotography lenses available to share between the group if required.
1 x Samyang 14mm f/2.8 Canon fit
1 x Samyang 14mm f/2.8 Nikon fit
1 x Samyang 14mm f/2.8 Sony E mount fitThis astrophotography workshop is a relaxed learning atmosphere and is suitable for beginner photographers with minimal equipment, or intermediate/advanced photographers.
Please note: Participants will need to be able to change their settings in manual mode, such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, and be able to switch off the autofocusing on their camera or lens.
