As one previous guest shared:
“I took part in a photography day with Jules on Dartmoor which was fab! She showed me how to do slow shutter speed photos which was tricky to get the hang of but paid off. It was nice to meet up with others who also enjoy photographing natural landscapes, and of course getting out onto Dartmoor is always a good day!” Zoe, UK
