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 spring photo walk photographing dogs amongst the beautiful and varied surroundings of Auckland Botanic Gardens during the golden hour period prior to sunset.
I will be able to offer some tips to help you capture great images of my dog models.
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 approximately one week before 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 four 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.
