About the event
Join Sony Advocates Luke Tscharke and Eric Peng, as well as representatives from Sony Australia for a sunset shoot at one of Hobart’s most iconic locations - Tasman Bridge. We’ll be meeting at the Tasman Bridge Lookout on the eastern shore, a spot with historical significance as the old end of Hobart's floating bridge. This location offers a brilliant view, with the bridge leading towards kunanyi / Mount Wellington and the city lights in the distance.
Event Partners & Loan Equipment
This event is run in conjunction with Stallard’s Camera House in Hobart, and there will be some Sony loan equipment available for you to try thanks to Sony Australia. It’s a great chance to get your tripod out, practice long exposure photography, and capture a classic Hobart composition.
