About the event

*MORE DATES ADDED*

Want to learn how to achieve that silky smooth water effect in your landscape images? Do you know the theory of long exposure photography, but haven't made the jump to get your own filters? Do you have the patience to be a long exposure master?! This is the workshop for you!

Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Andrew J Clarke for this series of long exposure workshops in conjunction with Haida Filters and Maxxum where you will have the chance to see some of Perth's best landscape photography locations and get hands on with the Haida M10 filter bracket - the very same kit Andrew uses for his landscape photography. Each attendee will get their own kit to borrow for the session and Maxxum will be offering special deals for all attendees if you like what you see!

The locations have been specifically selected to provide different challenges - both in terms of composition and long exposure technique.

CLOSED Sat 21 August 2021 at 4:00pm - Lesmurdie Falls

SOLD OUT Sat 28 August 2021 at 4:00pm - North Trigg Beach

SOLD OUT Sun 29 August 2021 at 4:00pm - South Perth Foreshore

*New date* Sat 4 September 2021 at 4:30pm - Elizabeth Quay

*New date* Sun 12 September 2021 at 4:30pm - Cape Peron

Each workshop will include a brief introductory presentation to the core concepts involved in long exposure photography, including example images of what to expect when using certain settings in certain conditions. From there, Andrew will guide participants to the preferred shooting locations, demonstrate his process for capturing long exposure images and assist you with your set up. The precise programme of each workshop will be somewhat flexible as it is always best to be responsive to the conditions when shooting landscape photography!
