turning back THE CLOCK In May 2007 I was on a photography workshop in Umbria with leading Briti sh travel photographer David Noton. Shot during the trip, this photo of Norcia’s main square is incredibly poignant. In October 2016, an earthquake destroyed the San Benedett o basilica (right) as well as the town’s cathedral. It has brought home to me how impermanent even the built environment can be and how a photo can become a record of something that no longer exists. Macro workshop Locati on: Dilston Physic Garden Date: 21 May 2017 Cost: £70 per person The grounds of Dilston Physic Garden near Hexham (www.dilstonphysicgarden.com) are perfect for tranquil thought, refl ecti on and, of course, photography! This workshop is dedicated to the art of close-up and macro photography using the fl ora and fauna found at Dilston Physic Garden. If you have a hankering to learn more about the subject of macro photography then this will be the workshop for you. You don’t need any specialised equipment – cameras with close-up focusing faciliti es will be more than suitable. However, if you have a dedicated macro lens then bring that along. I’ll be bringing equipment such as extension tubes and close- up att achment lenses for those who want to try a more D.I.Y. approach to their macro photography.
