To those of you who saw the original post about Venturer Photography day, our apologies for the delay in reporting back. To recap, the idea was to run a days photography training aboard the Richmond Venturer sailing from Kingston to Richmond. For our first course the weather could not have been kinder as the Autumn sunshine helped to make a memorable day. Our two professional photographers : John Frye and Marcus Perkins spent the day teaching and giving practical assistance with the students snapping photos at a hectic pace.

The feedback from the day has been excellent including a great article from the husband of one of the attendees and of course the photographs are stunning.

In addition to providing a great day on the river and great photography training, our goal was also to help  provide funding for the charity the River Thames Boat Project and thanks to a fully booked course it was also a financial success. We have a second photography course scheduled for the 1st April (at the moment places are available but please be warned it sold out last time). We are also in the early planning stages of a video day for later in the summer with lots more training options being considered which make use of this amazing boat.
