Hi Dorcas – just to say what a great time I had on Skye, the moment the ferry docked, I had my camera out as the sun was hitting the mountains across the Sound. The Sligachan hotel and area offered fabulous views, didn’t really need to go far on foot to get a decent image, but loved also the ride in your vintage VW van with the lovely Daisy (dog) at the helm and keeping watch over our kit. Thanks for doing so much driving we certainly covered most of the island. Ok mixed bag of weather but it was challenging. Thanks too for the 5D pointers, very helpful, and for the master class on Lightroom, definitely getting this for Christmas! Look forward to seeing you again.

I enjoyed the day at Malham. Dorcas was very patient and explained stuff well. I’m glad I brought several sets of batteries because they didn’t like the cold.

A really enjoyable few days in and around Malham. Weather could have been kinder but I learned (or possibly re-learned) some skills which I will find most useful in the future.

Hi Dorcas Thanks for an interesting weekend. Really enjoyed the workshop, the people and the places visited. The note are a great summary to the technical aspects of the weekend and will serve as a reminder on the occasions I forget. Nick

I’d like to recomend Fotodayz Swaledale Tour Guidebook – I followed the tour today. It is a brilliant guide! I’ve really had a good day, learned lots too.

Thanks for the nice Holiday. Ok you had us out in the rain. Its gave me a new look to go out more no matter what the weather is like. Well looked after.Thanks Dorcas.

Dear Dorcas thank you very much for the inspiring days which have left me reeling with impressions. For myself, I very much benefited from the individual tuition. Some of the pictures look very pleasing on a ‘grown up’ screen. I look forward to reading and digesting the information, for which thank you.
By Andy – 05th September 2011
Dorcas, Just like to say thank you for an enjoyable, interesting and informative day out I believe I learnt a lot and I am looking forward to putting it all into practise. Today I have been out and bought my first piece of my shopping list and I now have a remote cable shutter release. So here’s to some good photo,s. Thank you. Andy

It isn’t often that you’re expectations are fulfilled 100% but our day in Malham did just that. Dorcas was knowledgeable and communicated at a level that even I could understand. Thank you
By Paul – 23rd July 2010
Did a workshop with Dorcas at Malham, Yorkshire Dales. She proved to be very easy to get along with, was very knowledgeable and gave clear to follow instructions. Plenty of personal attention and over all good information.

Thank you for running such an enjoyable course last Saturday. I really got a lot out of the day.
By David – 24th October 2009
Hi Dorcas, Thank you very much for a very enjoyable and fruitful weekend. I am over the moon with some of the shots we achieved and very grateful for the patience you showed for me a complete novice. The location, the course content/ tuition and the company where all top class for me. Thanks and regards David.

By Ron- 05th July 2009
What a marvellous day’s Landscape course. Dorcas was so polite and helpful explaining and encouraging me to have ago away from my past comfort zone. The tea party by the quite roadside during the lunch break came in handy too. Thank you Dorcas, I really enjoyed my day.
By Angela – 18th May 2009
Hi, I just wanted to say what a brilliant day I had despite the awful butterflies that transformed when kind words and clear advice joined together in beautiful relaxing surroundings to create some fantastic snap shots that I still am looking at in photoshop. I have recommended your workshops to everyone and I look forward to having a go at getting close up in the meadows too, This is just the start of a wonderful life of creativity, Thank you for your patience and kindness Angela
By Stuart – 16th May 2009
Thank you for a brilliant day out in Swaledale and your practical and helpful advice. I have learnt so much in a short space of time which has improved my photography considerably.
By Alan – 10th April 2009
Thanks for a good day out with lots of information and good tips, all I have to do now is put all of your good work to use. regards Alan
By Philip – 14th May 2009
Despite the weather I would like to thank you for a very enjoyable workshop this past weekend. The location, and your local insight, were invaluable to providing a solid foundation to the workshop. Having someone looking over my shoulder and reconstructing my composition is exactly what I needed to (hopefully) take my photography to the next stage. Not to forget the bird and plant spotting lessons!
By NIgel – 07th April 2009
the whole point of the day for me was to rejuvenate my interest in my photography, something it did do so I am happy at that. Since then I have been over to Aysgarth falls, Thorpe Perrow, Swaledale and High force in Teesdale so I think it may have just done the trick.
By Paul – 20th March 2009
My Dad loved it, and hasn’t shut up about the day since. We both got a lot from it and hope to it again this year. Many thanks!

Thanks again for a great day – really enjoyed myself. I think I’ve taken a lot more from the course than I was expecting

Dorcas Eatch est anglaise, et elle photographie son pays avec simplicité et talent. Ses images sont paisibles et belles, c’est un vrai plaisir de les découvrir sur son site.
By Tom – 19th September 2008
Thank you for a fascinating, really instructive, and enjoyable day, I feel much more confident using the resources of my DSLR camera and am going to be inspired to work at my photograhy as art in itself rather than a mere tool for my painting!!! We are going to be revisiting our favourite Dales locations with a fresh eye. Great to have helpful follow-up notes. The only downside was the result of standing in the rain,behind my tripod, holding an umbrella and peering through the viewfinder all day which I was too interested and involved to notice until next morning!! Thanks again Tom
By Tim – 17th September 2008
Thankyou very much for a great day out in Swaledale. I learnt so much about my camera thanks to your clear and practical explanations and was well happy with the resulting photos. I’d recommend anyone who’s bought a new camera and feels a bit overwhelmed to get on one of your courses. I can’t wait to get out in the countryside again and take some more. Thanks again!
By Linda – 12th September 2008
Thank you so much for your time and patience yesterday, I really enjoyed the day, learned so much and am really pleased with what I took under your expert tuition.
By Phil – 18th August 2008
Hi Dorcas I checked out your site as a fellow photographer, inpressive images, you certainly have a natural talent. You manage to capture the atmosphere of a scene so well! Phil
By Jill – 13th July 2008
What a wonderful day! Thank you for your patience, your knowledge and for your ability to be a parrot in repeating the same thing over and over so that I could finally say ‘I’ve got it!’ Well hopefully. I have taken some amazing shots, which I will proudly forward to you and hope you will be as proud as me for helping me to achieve them. I am definitely inspired and will hopefully see you again very soon. Many many thanks.
By Judy- 18th June 2008
Thank you for a great day of photography on Sunday. The hay meadows were at their best and it was wonderful to be able to takes photos in those conditions, with the help of your expert advice.
By Jill – 15th June 2008
Thank you so much for a fantastic day. The scenary was amazing and you explained everything in such an easy to understand way that I now feel I actually know about plus and minus to correct the exposure of a shot!!! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be coming on another course to learn more. Roll on July!
By Kath – 12th June 2008
Thanks again for a brilliant time yesterday; I really enjoyed it.
By Ian – 07th June 2008
Thanks for another brilliant day & workshop. Your patience and encouragement is really whats needed when you’re learning and trying to get your head round all the know-how & techniques needed to take a good shot – without the techno-babble! You make it seem easy!
By Sally – 03rd June 2008
I had a fabulous day and feel that I got so much out of it, so thank you.
By Ian – 03rd June 2008
Thanks for a great day out and I feel I have learned a lot – things you said keep coming back to me as I look back over the day. I also feel a lot more comfortable with the camera having never used it on manual, so I had some really good practice using the exposure triangle under difficult conditions!
By Debbie – 12th May 2008
You have a wonderful website that speaks for itself!!
By Mike – 16th April 2008
I found the course really useful and I have absolutely no doubt that it will help my future photographic efforts.

By Frances – 14th March 2008
I really enjoyed the weekend, and although it was disappointing that sunrise and sunset didn’t work out I thought we had brilliant weather conditions the rest of the time so that made up for it. I also thought your choice of B&B was very good – comfortable and a nice relaxed atmosphere!
By Alison – 15th March 2008
Thanks for a lovely day yesterday. I really enjoyed it.
