In this workshop we will cover everything that's required to capture and process beautiful long exposure images.
Meeting at Hobsonville Marina, we will shoot until the light fades and the city lights come on. Then we'll head to Sony's headquarters in Ponsonby to edit the photos we just captured, and I will show you how I process my long exposure images to get the best results.
As an added bonus I will be bringing a selection of Sony cameras and lenses with me. This provides the perfect opportunity to try before you buy, or simply have a play around with some different gear.
Note: You don't need to use a Sony camera for this workshop, however you may not fully benefit from the tutoring experience and gear on hand.
