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 photowalk photographing dogs amongst the beautiful and varied surroundings of Napier Botanical Gardens.
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 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 on kirsten@wortandflea.co.nz 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 heavily.
This event will be preceded by a free talk at the CAN Gallery convering my top tips for dog photography as part of my Fotofest exhbition.
