About the event
We'll start by meeting at 2pm at a beautiful Central Coast studio in Erina, we’ll shoot floral arrangements onsite with some bubbles and banter, and start learning simple and effective Photoshop Compositing techniques.
In the evening we’ll head out for a local meal then break away for the night where you’ll head to your accommodation.
In the morning we’ll meet early at a local beach for an optional sunrise shoot. Afterwards we’ll learn new techniques for shooting tack sharp birds in close up flight. Leave your long lens at home - your tripod, a remote control and a medium wide angle lens is all you’ll need for this fun exercise.
After a beach brekky we’ll head back to studio for more banter and blending.
We’ll cut out the birds, put them on a background and add in the flowers. Examples will be available if you'd like to copy or let your imagination fly!
We'll then wrap up in mid afternoon and head home with your project finished and your imagination refreshed .
Included is an after event A4 print printed on archival paper on an Epson SCp800. Either postal delivery or pickup.
