Beginner workshop
In this workshop we will be taking your camera out of auto pilot and switching it over to manual. This can seem a bit daunting at first, but with a little bit of understanding and practice it will become second nature and will open up a whole new world of photography for you. We will be starting from the very beginning and I will walk you through step by step and explain in detail as we go so you can get a full understanding of how your camera works
Topics that we will cover:
- What gear you should have to get you started on your landscape photography journey
- What is ISO, aperture and shutter speed
- How adjusting the ISO, aperture and shutter speed will affect your image
- What the other modes on your camera are, what they do and when you would use them
- How to create captivating long exposure shots
- How to focus correctly, in auto or manual modes, to make sure your images are pin sharp
- What is white balance and how it affects your image
Sea scape workshop
There is just something about sunsets down by the beach. I'm not sure if its because the sun sets over the ocean here in Western Australia or if is a combination of the waves, ocean noise and the colour of the sky, but either way there is definitely a special vibe about it.
One of the best parts of shooting sea scape's for me is that you can get so many different looking shots with out even changing your composition. The water is constantly changing and moving in a unique way around the rocks and it can give your images a drastically different look in each frame you take.
Topics that we will cover:
- What to be mindful of when planning your shoot
- What gear is ideal for shooting sea scape's
- Choosing the correct camera settings to capture the water correctly to add that element of movement to your image
- If you should be using filters or not
- How to use composition to add dimension to your images
