TBA - Daintree Rainforest, N QLD
Explore some of the most ancient rainforest habitations on Earth, the mighty Daintree Rainforest and learn how to photograph some of the wildlife, landscapes and natural beauty of the area.
Many of our clients either know little about photography and want to learn more, or they know something about photography and want to take it to the next level. If this is you, then this workshop is PERFECT for you. In the field and through cleverly designed indoor and outdoor discussions, Steve will step you through a vast array of photographic techniques. The beauty of this workshop is that you will have opportunities to photograph some of the most spectacular locations in Australia such as Cape Tribulation and the mighty Daintree itself - which are all at our doorstep.
For those participants who want to learn more of the technical aspects of photography, Steve will take time out during various parts of the day to teach you all the techniques you'll need to have, for your images to look like the professionals!
At the end of Day 1, we'll take advantage of the digital capture process to review your images and Steve will individually offer his suggestions for improvement. We will also explore the digital workflow used by many professionals to prepare their images for exhibition printing or award nomination. We will use Photoshop and Lightroom 2.0, as well as some other somewhat unknown gems of software!
After we get to know each other briefly, we'll go straight into techniques applicable for the areas w'll be visiting. Then just after morning tea, we'll travel to the first of our locations to begin two days of hands on work in the field.
