Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocates Brett Lobwein and Hana Saba for a workshop on capturing whales. These workshop run for 2.5 hours departing directly from Port Hacking River. It will take us around 20 minutes to get out to the "zone" where the whales will hopefully be. During this cruise we will get stunning review of the Cronulla area, push it gives me a chance to talk over settings, whale behaviours etc.

OPEN TO EVERYONE - ANY SKILLS and ANY CAMERA 

For this workshop we are using the team at Cronulla Whale Watching. 

'Whale Watcher' is a 55ft well maintained purpose built Whale Watching vessel providing loads of open deck space to move around, with two levels of undercover seating. With all the latest equipment, Whale Watcher is quick, safe and comfortable.

Easy access to extra seating in an enclosed cabin area with wide viewing windows and full toilet facilities will ensure your journey is a most comfortable one.

Note: we will be on the boat with the general public, but there is plenty of room for us to run this workshop. 

IMPORTANT - PLEASE ARRIVE WITH PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE DEPARTURE TIME - IF YOU ARE LATE THEN THE BOAT WILL LEAVE AND NO REFUND CAN BE ISSUED AS I HAVE TO PRE-PURCHASE SPOTS ON THE BOAT.

Great opportunity for Bird and Other Wildlife Photography during the workshop as well.

• Wildlife Photography 
• Shooting with a telephoto lens
• Great bird photography opportunities
• Shooting from a moving boat 
• Best position on the boat to create stunning images 
• Whale behaviours, giving you the best chance of predicting where the action is going to happen

• Camera with Memory Card
•  Best lens is 100-400mm for Full Frame shooters, also 70-200mm is a great option 
• Bring a wider lens like a 24-70mm just in case the whales decided to get close and personal to the boat
• Extra Battery 
• All our whale watching tours take us out in to the open ocean so it is best to be prepared for all weather eventualities. Ocean conditions can change whilst we are out. 
• We recommend bringing warm clothing, rainproof jacket, hat, sunglasses, any food you may want whilst on the tour Seasick tablets HIGHLY recommended
