About the event
Want to know how to take better photographs of your dog but don't know where to start?
Join me for a winter photo walk photographing dogs amongst the beautiful and varied surroundings of Taitua Arboretum during the golden hour period prior to sunset.
Here you will get to see how I work with and photograph dogs and you will get the opportunity to photograph them yourself.
Photographers of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to attend, however having a basic understanding of how to navigate your camera's menus and change settings will help you make the most of this event. It's a great opportunity to talk photography with like minded people, take some stunning photos, and meet some awesome dogs!
Instructions on where to meet will be provided to attendees prior to the event.
You don't need a Sony camera to attend this event, but a selection of Sony cameras and lenses may be available to try during the afternoon. Please email me at least three weeks prior to the event if there is anything specific you would like to try.
NB: This event will be rescheduled if it is raining.
* If you have attended my Coffee and All Things Photography meetup immediately prior to this photo walk you will be able to put the tips given into practice, to help you capture great images of my dog models. *
