Donegal is a photographer's paradise. From an abundance of nature and wildlife to the rigged coastline, charming islands, dramatic and ancient monuments - Donegal has it all! Join award-winning photographer Trevor Cole as he shares his local knowledge and expert tuition to advance and encourage absolute beginners while also expanding the knowledge and skills of even the most experienced photographer.

The rest of the weekend will be spent on fun-filled location shoots around the beautiful North West of Donegal and the stunning Wild Atlantic Way. Many guests who have attended our photography weekends at Arnolds Hotel have travelled from as far as away as Germany, England, Scotland, Dublin, Cork and of course many from Northern Ireland.

Our photo tours focus on taking you to places, which have a unique appeal to photographers. We seek the beauty of landscape and seascape, the heritage of cultural diversity and the bustle of street and marketplaces. Effectively, photography through geography.

Our tours will seek the best moments, light and opportunities to compose shots, which reflect upon those inimitable moments. We feel it is of value to immerse ourselves in local culture through, not only people and landscapes, but also, where feasible, through culinary experience and accommodation, which is culturally sympathetic. Interaction and understanding and, where feasible, spending time with people, makes moments and images more meaningful.

Our tours will have a ‘hands on’ approach, which enables clients to avail of sessions in which there are photo critiques and a chance to reflect on images captured whilst on tour. It is recommended that all participants bring laptops or tablets so that we can benefit from interaction and discussion, and ways of editing our images to get a result reflecting your own unique style. We also strive to promote ‘Eco Photo Tourism’ where we have a sustainable, unintrusive, approach to our photography.

Donegal is a photographers paradise with the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ as the focus. Beaches, mountains and ancient ruins. The light is inimitable and it is here that the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

‘It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see’. Henry David Thoreau
