Another activity that I did at the end of 2016 was to take a group of Photography Learners (a private group I teach in the village of Gorsgoch not far from where I live) on a day trip to visit Borth Zoo and the RSPB\u2019s Nature Reserve at Ynys Hir in the north of Ceredigion. I set this group up to meet a need in my teaching, namely that often when I have finished formal Higher education and Further education courses, I still have requests from students asking if it would be possible to continue to learn. With the support of the village hall I was able to offer those learners interested such an opportunity at a relatively low cost. The learning itself is very relaxed, sometimes I \u00a0do a workshop, sometimes we talk about the work and occasionally we go on a field trip as was the case here.<\/p>\n
Even though this was at the end of November we had a perfect day; the zoo was fun and the animals entertaining to photograph, Ynys Hir was really beautiful and we got some great photos. I have to admit though that when I am teaching I don\u2019t often get much opportunity to take photographs, and I am more interested in my students having the greater success, however I am attaching a few images that I shot whilst working.<\/p>\n
