Daily Itinerary
Day 1 – Depart London, arrive Brecon Beacons
The adventure begins! You and your fellow travellers will be collected by your photo guide from the scheduled meeting point. From there, you’ll begin the journey to the Brecon Beacons in Wales.
We’ll settle into our accommodation, call by the local shops to purchase supplies and snacks, then have a lesson on the importance of using filters in waterfall photography.
Day 2 – Explore the Elidir Trail
The Elidir Trail is a paradise for both nature lovers and photography enthusiasts such as ourselves. The trail features a series of stunning waterfalls that will take your breath away. As you walk along the trail, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere that will make you feel at peace as well as yearning to get the camera out to capture the scene.
We’ll capture some stunning waterfalls as we work our way along the river, each offer a unique photographic opportunity.

Testimonials
I have learned so much on this trip – taking the most amazing photos! I had so much help which I am very grateful for.
If you do another trip I would love to join you again!
Many thanks for a wonderful trip last week, I really enjoyed it and have taken away so much 😊.
I’m about 80% through post processing, it’s really difficult to choose as there are so many great shots!
I’ve been considering buying Kase filters too!
Guide
Dion Hitchcock
Dion is an expat Australian based in London, United Kingdom. A prodigious traveller, after visiting 40+ countries he decided it was high time to learn about photography so he could better document his travels and quickly caught “the bug”. He became involved in several camera clubs assisting them running workshops and now runs his own, including in the UK, Iceland, and his home country of Australia. A qualified pharmacist, he’s now swapped helping patients and teaching pharmacy students for helping clients with both the technical aspects and artistic side of photography. Although an unconventional transition, he sees this as a natural progression as both of his parents are artists who instilled in him an appreciation of the beauty of the wondrous world around us.
