About the event
Want to learn how to capture silky smooth, dreamlike seascapes?
Join award-winning photographer and Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, Dylan Giannakopoulos at his Seascape Long Exposure Photography Workshop held at Montforts Beach on Saturday 1st June 2024.
Polarising and neutral density (ND) filters open up a wide range of creative possibilities for landscape and seascape photography. With a wide variety of natural subjects, Dylan will teach you all about the creative and technical aspects of long-exposure photography, so you can get the most out of your filters. Maxxum and Haida Filters have also 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 workshop’s small group structure ensures that Dylan can provide plenty of one on one tuition. Guest will also 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.
