About the event

This is a truly beautiful area which I find myself at a lot, It has some amazing walks and little flowing streams along with some hidden waterfalls and some truely epic compositions to find. This is a loop walk and around 4 km in total of walking but has so many epic spots for photo opportunities. The workshop is of a smaller number so I can help/mentor you with low light and long exposures to get that dreamy effect with plays on light and shadows breaking through the trees. I can't wait to show you this place as I think anyone who hasn't visited this area will truely fall in love with it as have I.
