2025 Alpha Awards Photo Competition
Terms and conditions apply.*
Join me on a fun nature walk where we will 'hunt' for fungi to photograph (in situ). We'll cover camera settings, lighting and macro photography tips for photographing fungi and any other small natural treasures we may discover.
This walk will be self-guided, however I will be on hand at all times to discuss settings, techniques, lighting, composition and answer any questions.
The Fern Walk in Totara Reserve is a 5.3km loop track. It requires low to moderate fitness. Depending on how often we stop, and how long we spend photographing things, it should take approximately 2-3 hours to complete the loop.
The track is located in the Pohangina Valley about 30 minutes drive from Palmerston North. From Ashhurst, drive north along Pohangina Road, then turn right onto Pohangina Valley East Road. Keep your eye out for the signage for the Fern Walk, you will see a small car park on the side of the road. There is a long drop toilet at the start of the track.
Should the weather prevent these workshops going ahead as planned a postponement date for each workshop will be as follows:
A full refund will be provided should these events be cancelled.
