Wonder of Waterfalls Blue Mountains Workshop - 4th Oct 2019

Come and join Jay for a 1 day workshop exploring the Wonder of Waterfalls in the Blue Mountains, where you will be guided to the base of some of the best falls in the area and coached on capturing flowing water using long exposure techniques, filters, and composition. 

To wrap up the day, we will have a 2 hour post processing session back at the Katoomba studio.  

This exciting day trip not only gets you in front of some of the Blue Mountains best known falls, you will also be guided through the mesmerising scenery of ferns and eucalyptus trees, down some incredible bush tracks and deep into the gully's to locate the serene flowing waters as they tumble into the valleys below.
