About the event
Join me for an autumn afternoon photowalk in the world-renowned Hamilton Gardens.
Note: This is a free event, however, you will need to pay the Hamilton Gardens entry fee (currently $27.50) for the enclosed gardens if you don't have an annual pass.
We'll meet at 3:30 pm and head into the gardens for our photowalk, ending with sunset. I'll be on hand to assist with composition ideas in all the different gardens.
The autumn colours are stunning here during May and this is the perfect time to capture them!
Sony gear may be available for loan at this event. If there is anything you would like to try, please email me at least two weeks before the event - [email protected]
Sunday the 10th of May will be a back up date in case of bad weather. As the gardens offer a lot of cover we'll only postpone if the weather is seriously bad.
