Workshop outline:
For beginners or enthusiasts, these hands-on half-day photography workshops cover the basic techniques of digital photography whilst capturing images of hidden and lesser-known landscapes, waterfalls, mountains, colourful wildlife, water reflections, and other quirky points of interest along the way. Using your digital camera, you’ll learn how to train your eye creatively to take interesting long shutter shots, funky wildlife images, mountainous landscapes, and vibrant close-up (macro) shots. Progress from the auto button mode and make the most of your camera and its functions/buttons by understanding camera handling, exposure control, depth of field, aperture and shutter speed, design & composition, lighting, colour, framing, leading lines, white balance, and ISO settings. During the morning, we will stop for a coffee/drink at the cafe, where you can ask your photography and camera questions.
