Learn how to capture silky smooth long exposures with filters from Haida!

About the event

Want to learn how to capture silky smooth, dreamlike seascapes of Dragons Head Rock? Whether you are wanting to try long-exposure photography for the first time or get hands-on with Haida’s range of M10 and Red Diamond filters, this is the workshop for you!

Join award-winning photographer and Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, Dylan Giannakopoulos at his Seascape Long Exposure Photography Workshop held at Number Sixteen Beach, Victoria on Saturday  10th February 2024. 

Polarising and neutral density (ND) filters can open you up to a wide range of creative possibilities in your landscape and cityscape photography. Haida Filters and Maxxum have kindly provided Dylan with a few of their M10 filter holder kits for participants to use. Please email dylangiannaphotography@outlook.com prior to booking to confirm availability and reserve a loaner kit. 

At the workshop, you will learn how to:

  • Take creative control over your camera’s shutter speed with square neutral density (ND) filters
  • Utilise graduated neutral density (GND) filters to balance the overall exposure of a scene
  • Calculate your shutter speed when using ND filters 
  • Use compositional techniques in your landscape photography to create captivating imagery
  • Master control of various camera modes and settings such as aperture priority and manual focusing, and learn how to read your camera’s histogram. 

Strictly limited to 6 attendees, the small group structure of the workshop ensures that Dylan’s able to provide plenty of one on one tuition whilst ensuring social distancing. 

After the workshop, you will be invited to join a private Facebook group which is strictly limited to past attendees of Dylan Gianna Photography Workshops. The Facebook group offers members a space to share their images, ask questions and learn tips and tricks from Dylan.
