About the event
Ready for a fun photo challenge?
Lions, tigers and dinosaurs, oh my! Join me for a photo walk amongst the multitude of different animals housed in their beautiful and varied enclosures of Auckland Zoo - including the Dinosaur Discovery Track featuring 25 large scale animatronic dinosaurs.
A photo challenge will be given to all attendees prior to the event commencing.
Photographers of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to attend, however having a basic understanding of how to navigate your camera's menus and change settings will help you make the most of this event. It's a great opportunity to talk photography with like minded people, take some stunning photos, and get outside of your comfort zone!
Instructions on where to meet will be provided to attendees before the event.
You don't need a Sony camera to attend this event, but a selection of Sony cameras and lenses may be available to try during the morning. (Please email me on kirsten@wortandflea.co.nz at least two weeks prior to the event if there is any Sony camera gear you would like to try. Due to the length of this event I will only be carrying my own gear, so if there is something specific you are wanting to loan for this event you must request it in advance.)
Important information
You must pay for your own entry in Auckland Zoo.
This event will be rescheduled if it is raining heavily.
There is also a coffee chat community event being held immediately before, so for those of you that would like to catch up with peers over a self-funded breakfast or hot drink, please register here: Coffee and All Things Photography - Auckland Community Catch-up
