Great outdoor experience for a relaxing holiday activity!

Perfect for couples, families and solo travellers alike.

We'll meet in the centre of Edinburgh at the Grassmarket where we'll say a quick hello and jump right in. I'll explain a little about the settings on your camera so that you'll hit the ground running and get some great photographs of this amazing city. From the Grassmarket we'll move on to get photographs of the incredible Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile and Cockburn Street.

The tour is tailored to your ability level and is aimed at beginners wishing to use manual mode. We will cover white balance, exposure, composition etc and I'll aim to get you comfortable in taking your photography to the next level. You'll get a good walk, but most importantly some great photographs and the skills to start developing your own style.

If you want photographs of yourself, please book my other tour "Edinburgh Private Photoshoot Experience"

Other things to note: There are lots of stairs to climb and a few miles to cover. Make sure to bring camera/phone, charged batteries and memory card Unless a severe weather warning is reported, we will go ahead with our shoot as planned even if it rains.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
