Donegal Photography Workshops & Tours

I spend 3 days in Dingle on Rodneys workshop. It was a most enjoyable and valuable experience. Rodney created a very relaxing environment in which to develop new photography skills. He was so encouraging and his ability to take each of us at our own level and provide appropriate instruction was brilliant. He was totally attentive and his enthusiasm was contagious. I hope to get another opportunity to join another of Rodneys workshops. Thanks a million for sharing your expertise Rodney.

Some suggestions from Rodney put into practice on a very informative and pleasurable weekend in Co. Clare

This was my second weekend workshop with Rodney. The first in Dingle was fantastic the second in Clare, epic (even with the bad weather) . Rodney is very personable and made sure everyone was enjoying the experience. He is a great teacher, no question or time a problem. I learned lot. His advice on composition and camera settings was valuable. He has done his research well and bought us to some fabulous spots to photograph the landscape . I look forward to partaking in another weekend or longer workshop. On a side note he knew all the great places to eat 😋 Thank you Rodney.

We had a fantastic time with Rodney on our Ireland photography tour for my group. He was very kind and helpful during the whole trip. He led us to the best photography locations at the best times. He helped me guide the group and shared many of his tips and suggestions - about composition, light etc. He did everything he could to make the customers happy. Strongly recommend working with him. Cheers from Israel!

I have used Rodney’s photographic guiding services twice now, (Antrim coast and Dingle) I would have no hesitation in recommending Rodney to other tour leaders who were thinking of running photo workshops and hiring a van to Ireland. Rodney’s local knowledge is exceptional, the experience he has gained in running his own tours means he understands the requirements of running a successful trip, he knew the best time of day to visit each location to get the best light, where to ‘duck in’ and get a cuppa when the heavens opened and where to find a ‘loo’ at short notice, he took away all the logistical hassle and stress of running a tour allowing me to spend more time to focus on clients, Im looking forward to working with him again in the near future.

A number of us from Naas Photography Group recently had the pleasure of a workshop with Rodney on the Dingle Peninsula. We all thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Rodney's knowledge of the area, possible locations, and the best times to visit those locations was second to none. He took time to determine the experience level of each member of the party and to tailor his advice to their needs. Speaking personally, I found his suggestions on composition very insightful. I'd be very happy to do another event with Rodney again once I've absorbed what I learnt from this one: I suspect several of my fellow members feel the same!

I have had one to one tuition with Rodney O Callaghan which took place on the Dingle Peninsula. The experience was extremely positive both in terms of what I learned about taking decent photographs and experiencing the breathtaking beauty of one of the most beautiful places on earth! Last Autumn I travelled to Tuscany on one of Rodney's workshops. The experience was truly wonderful. Everything was brilliantly organised. Rodney had researched all the best spots for sunrises and sunsets, the prettiest little Tuscan villages to visit and the best eateries! Rodney was always on hand to give helpful advice and answer questions with good humour and endless patience. It was really nice to be away with a small friendly group of like-minded photographers and I am looking forward to repeating this experience again this year in Slovenia in October. Rodney is a true professional and a great teacher.
