About the event
Join me for an afternoon and evening exploring two of the Waikato's best landscape locations: Bridal Veil Falls and Raglan's beaches.
We'll meet at 4.30pm at Bridal Veil Falls and spend an hour or so here shooting this beautiful waterfall in the late afternoon light. From here we'll move onto Raglan and shoot sunset either at the main Ngarunui Beach or one of the smaller surf beaches around the coast depending on weather conditions on the day.
This event is tailored to learning various composition and setting techniques to improve your waterfall and seascape photography and is limited to only 6 people to maximise the learning opportunities. Neutral density filters will also be available for you to use during the workshop if you don't own any.
A pick up will be available from central Hamilton if required (please contact me below).
Please note: you don't have to shoot with Sony equipment to attend the workshop, but if you are interested in trying out any Sony gear, please let me know me so I can arrange this for the evening.
Also consider signing up to my online courses: Creating Art in Landscapes with Long Exposures on Feb 15th prior to attending this event so you can hit the ground running on the day, and my Learn to Love Lightroom Course which will be on March 15th and March 22nd to help you achieve the best results from editing the shots you'll be taking during the workshop.
In the event of bad weather, this event will be postponed to the following day so please keep both Saturday and Sunday nights free. A refund will only be available in the event that both nights are cancelled.
