About the event
Join Robin and Timothy Moon of Wanderlust Imagery for a bespoke Winter retreat staying at beautiful Lake Crackenback Resort in the Snowy Mountains.
Enjoy misty lake mornings from your lakeside apartment, dark sky nights, alpine landscapes in golden hour; sunrise from the top of the mountain, crystalline sparkly blowing snowmaking magic images; frosty mornings shooting flora and fauna and long exposure Snowy River waterfalls. Keep an eye out for brumbies amongst the wallabies and wombats; and say hello to Percy the platypus. The star of our show however, will be capturing the beautiful Australian Snow Gum in its snowy surrounds. Finish your outdoor day with a Schnapps at the Wild Brumby distillery and enjoy Photoshop education and Image critique back in our luxury share accommodation.
The full cost of this workshop is $1925 per person which will be paid direct to Wanderlust Imagery .
