QLD Sony Alpha Users & Friends Facebook Group Monthly Meetup

Join Sony Advocate Craig Turnbull, for a fun and festive evening capturing the stunning colours of the Moon Festival. This is an important date on the Chinese calendar, celebrated when the moon is at its most full and beautiful. 

We'll be meeting at 4:30 PM for a quick chat and some instructions before heading out to document the night like a real photo journalist. 

This event is open to anyone with a camera (whatever make or model you have)

Please keep in mind that this is not a formal workshop, but Craig will still be there to give guidance and advice. If you have any questions about Sony cameras or lenses, he's happy to answer them!

Depending on the numbers that book and the Chinatown restaurants availibility, we may be able to reserve a table for a group meal at the end of the night.
