Teesmouth coastal abstracts
Event info
An on-location workshop for up to six participants. Tickets will go on sale on 1 May
Abstracts are a great way to produce more unique and personal images. On the south side of the Tees Estuary lies Paddy’s Hole - a small fishing harbour furnished with disused fishing paraphernalia, colourful fishing boats - some working and some in disrepair and fisherman’s huts. All of which makes great content for hours of fun taking abstract photographs. Professional landscape photographer, Mark Banks will be on hand throughout the day offering tips, tricks and advice on how to create successful coastal abstract images.
Although this workshop would be unsuitable for wheelchair users it will be fine for those with limited mobility issues. There is a small flight of steps to access certain parts of the harbour at Paddy’s Hole but Mark will be on hand to help at all times.
In order to maximise photo opportunities, participants are asked to bring a packed lunch and drinks with them (to last the full day) as it is quite a distance to the nearest cafe. Toilets are a 20-minute round trip into Redcar itself.
Warm, waterproof outdoor clothing with plenty of layers, comfortable footwear, umbrella and any medication necessary (wellington boots would be advisable for the beach).
Camera, charged batteries, memory card, tripod and would all be very useful.
Lenses that cover a focal length between 50 & 100mm will be necessary and, although optional, a macro lens may come in useful, too.
Parking is free at Paddy’s Hole although parking charges may apply if you wish to use the facilities in Redcar.
This will be a group C event for up to six people.
Ticket prices for this event include a £2 carbon offsetting charge. For more information click here.

If still applicable, he workshop leader will be following safe practices in line with social distancing guidance and will require participants to do the same. Please do not attend if you do not wish to comply.

Cancellation by You
If you wish to cancel your booking PLEASE let the event leader / organiser know with as much notice as possible. If nothing else, this can avoid them delaying the start of the event while they wait for you.
If you have paid for an event, please note that this fee/ticket price is non-refundable unless we are able to sell your place to somebody else. You are welcome to sell your place yourself but, again, PLEASE notify the event leader / organiser in advance of any change.
Cancellation by us
Event leaders are asked to make plans for alternative activities or locations in the case of poor weather and, in most cases, events will proceed despite poor weather unless, in the view of the event leader, the weather will lead to unacceptable safety risks or very little chance of successful photography. It is inevitable, however, that occasionally an event will be postponed or cancelled for this or another reason beyond the RPS’s control. If an event is postponed we will transfer your booking to the rearranged event, with the option of a refund if the rescheduled date is not suitable for you.
Occasionally an event may also be cancelled owing to lack of bookings. So if you wish to attend an event, don’t leave it till the last minute to book as it may be too late.
If an event is cancelled we will give you as much notice as we are able and any payment by you to the RPS in respect of the event offered as a full refund. In the case of events cancelled because of lack of interest we will aim to give at least three weeks’ notice wherever possible.
Please note we are NOT able to refund any associated or consequential costs including but not limited to travel, accommodation, insurance premium or other costs incurred by you in order to attend the event.
