About the event
Join me for a Sydney Festival of Light photo workshop focused on capturing Sydney at its vibrant best. The evening of shooting will utilise a number of vantage points and scenes around Sydney Harbour to create images of long exposures and light trails.
You will learn the technical fundamentals of how aperture, shutter speed and ISO are related, and how to control these settings to create the images you want. Discussion along the way will cover image compositions and how timing affects long exposures. There will be hands-on practice with utilising camera focus modes, white balance, and proper exposure to get sharp images with accurate colours right out of the camera.
Professional tuition of 3.5 hours will include hands-on and individualised instruction. Participants will walk away with a variety of images they can call their own.
Gear Needed: You will need a mirrorless or DSLR camera that can shoot in manual mode. A tripod suitable to hold your camera. A camera remote to trigger the camera shutter is desirable but not required. Suitable walking shoes and warm clothes (if cold) are recommended.
