Autumn Photowalk in Mount Lofty Botanic Garden

About the event

Following the success of the April event, come and enjoy photography with your fellow Sony photographers and connect with nature at the beautiful Mount Lofty Botanic Garden on Saturday 11th May at 10am (but get there early for car parking, using the Lampert Road entrance), for the annual autumn show when the cool-climate trees transform into a panorama of scarlets, yellows and bronzes.

Autumn colours lend themselves beautifully to photographers in all shapes and forms. Whether you like Panoramas or Macro there will be something for you at the Mt Lofty Botanic Garden.

The main lake and duck pond are probably the best place to photograph wildlife and autumnal colours at their best but wander anywhere and your lens will be richly rewarded. If you have never been there this is one of Adelaide's best kept secrets for photography where you can walk and photograph to your heart's content.

Come along and gets some tips and tricks for your Sony camera with taking photos in these wonderful gardens.

At 12 noon we'll meet for a chat back at the pop-up coffee van, which will be set up near the Lower Car park selling coffee, cakes, sandwiches, water and soft drinks.

Your host for the day is Adelaide's Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, Colin J. Pearce. If you get lost or run late, please phone him on 0408 426 546.

Friends & family most welcome, but please book a ticket for each person!

Please arrive 10 minutes early. The lower car park off Lampert Road entrance is where we meet, but parking at weekends tends to be busy, but well worth it. Fortunately additional weekend parking is available from the lower entrance of the garden. For visitors requiring special access or have mobility needs, please use the accessible parking or drop-off zone in the Lower Car Park.

There is ticketed parking, but that's actually a donation towards the running of the Garden. They suggest $1 for an hour or $3 all day.
