Canine and Equine Photography Workshops
Learn to capture and edit images with one of Australia's most well-renowned canine and equine photographers
Next workshop - 5pm on the 1st of November
Join me on the 1st of November for a splashtacular photography workshop on the banks of the Hawkesbury River in the stunning Yarramundi Reserve. We will be meeting at 5pm for a 5:30pm start, beginning with a quick chat before heading down to the grass paddock and river to experiment with fast and slow shutter speeds. As the sun dips lower in the sky, we will venture out into the water and capture our three stunning Border Collie dog models splashing their way through the shallow water.
Some of the topics we will cover are:
• how to scout a location and pick the best spots for photos
• how to nail action images
• where to position yourself
• using both a fast and slow shutter speed to create beautiful images
• reading and using natural light
• how to get a dog to run both towards and parallel to the camera
Upgrade your workshop experience for $50 and join me on the 3rd of November at 6pm for the online editing portion of the workshop. We will go through which photos to keep and which to delete, how to crop, editing tips and masking techniques in Lightroom. This will be recorded, so if you can't make it live or would like to watch the recording back there will be a private YouTube video link for that.
