Learn how to capture the essence of spring on our photography workshop at Claremont Landscape Gardens. Participants will learn how to use focus, aperture, depth of field and composition to capture the spring colours and green sweeping landscapes. We will photograph in and around the grounds of Claremont Landscape Gardens, utilising the colourful blossoms as subjects and frames for our images. This workshop is open to beginners and intermediate photographers who are keen to learn more about their cameras and build their photographic portfolios.
Entry is included in the workshop fee, scroll down to book.
The course material is presented in both a written and visual form, I will show you photographs to help you understand the techniques and also show you how to do it directly on your own camera.
A digital camera, preferably a camera with manual settings is preferred. Classes are limited to make sure everyone has a good understanding of their own camera at the end of the session.
