About the event
Whether you are making images within a cityscape or in a small town, street photography is the essence of photographing daily life in its most natural form.
Proudly supported by Camera House Mackay and Sony Australia , please Join Brisbane Digital Imaging Advocate Craig Turnbull for a fun-filled introduction to street photography.
Craig will kick off the workshop at our meeting point with an introduction and slideshow, followed by a comprehensive guide to camera gear and typical settings he uses when making street or urban photos. A Camera House and Sony Digital Imaging specialist will be on hand to answer any super technical, gear related questions.
Guided by your designated members you will then hit the streets of Mackay, stopping at key points for further tuition and to receive the information for your next brief. Craig and the reps will be on hand to keep you on the right track and provide feedback and advice.
Please note - the event will still go ahead in the rain
