Scene Festival
Discover optimal gear & settings for outdoor photography with Luke Tscharke

About the event

Join me, Luke Tscharke, in a special online session where we'll dig into the ins and outs of outdoor photography gear and settings. It's all about sharing what works for me and could work for you too, so you can get the most out of your equipment. 

My Trusted Equipment

Drawing on my 10+ year photography journey I'll take you through the cameras, lenses, cases, bags, filters, and other essential gear that I've found reliable and indispensible over the years. Whether you're using Sony equipment or something else, this should give you some new ideas on optimising your camera kit.

Equipment Storage and Cleaning

Keeping your gear in top condition is vital. I'll share some of my tried-and-true methods for cleaning lenses and storing equipment. No streaks, no fuss, just clear and crisp images. We will also discuss gaining the confidence to clean your own  camera sensor. Ever wonder why I think you should throw your microfibre cloths in the bin (responsibly, of course)? I'll spill the beans on that too!

Best Tips on Sony Camera Settings

We'll go through key Sony camera settings and uncover some hidden features that can be real game-changers. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just getting started, these insights can really help you get the most out of your camera in the field.

Custom Settings for Sony Cameras

If you're a Sony user, I'll show you how to make the most of your camera with custom settings that I use in my daily work. These can be incredible time savers out in the field and ensure you won't miss the shot when it counts.

This session is about conversation and learning. Bring your questions, and let's discuss how we can get the most out of our equipment together.

  • Choosing the Right Equipment: Cameras, lenses, cases, bags, filters, and other accessories that suit different outdoor photography styles.
