Spring in Full Bloom: Tesselaar Tulip Festival Photo Walk

About the event

Spring in Full Bloom: Tesselaar Tulip Festival Photo Walk

Event 1: Tesselaar Tulip Festival Photo Walk

Hunting Colour: Tesselaar Tulip Photo Walk

The Run-Down Nearly a million tulips popping up in the Dandenongs is pretty hard to ignore. We’re heading up to the historic Tesselaar farm for a relaxed morning walk among the rows. No boring slideshows or stuffy classroom vibes here—just grab your camera, meet some great local shooters, and spend a couple of hours making the most of Melbourne’s loudest spring colours.

The Fine Print (Tickets & Weather) You’ll need to grab your own festival entry ticket directly from the Tesselaar website before showing up. Spring weather in the hills likes to keep things interesting, so if the bloom timing or the forecast pulls a sudden shift, registered folks will get a quick heads-up via email well ahead of time.

What We’re Doing We’ll be wandering the fields with cameras ready, swapping ideas and testing out practical field tricks on the fly. We’ll look at how to tuck behind foreground flowers for that soft, dreamy blur, how to keep midday sun from frying your colours, and how to frame your shots so three dozen tourists don't photobomb your background.

 

Shoot Canon, Nikon, Fuji, or anything else? You’re completely set. If you've been curious about the Sony world, I’ll also have a few flagship bodies and G Master lenses on hand for people to test-drive. Just drop me a note two weeks early if there’s a specific bit of glass you want to try.

Techniques covered

  • Preserving highlight detail and micro-contrast in high-key, pale blossom petals 
  •  Harnessing low-angle afternoon backlight through the tree canopy 
  •  Framing down orchard lanes to create depth and visual compression 
  •  Choosing shutter speeds to sharply capture wind-blown petals and branch movement

What to bring

  • Valid admission ticket for the CherryHill Blossom Festival 
  • 566 DSLR or mirrorless camera with formatted storage media and spare batteries 
  •  Recommended lenses: a portrait prime (85mm, 135mm) or telephoto zoom (70-200mm) for compression; a 35mm or 50mm for wider environmental shots 
  •  Lens hood to minimize unwanted stray light when shooting toward the sun 
  •  Sensible outdoor footwear suitable for grass, gravel, and orchard inclines
