During this weekend workshop, Michael and Mark will present group presentations as well as one-on-one tuition for each participant. They will explain a variety of digital camera functions, teach you how to use these functions correctly and discuss different photographic techniques that will allow you to take better photos. By the end of the weekend, participants will have learned macro, landscape, sunset and wildlife photography techniques, digital workflow and Photoshop tips will be discussed and questions answered. All of this will occur in the stunning surrounds of the World Heritage Listed Lamington National Park, while staying in luxury at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat.
Experience: Michael Snedic has worked in Lamington National Park for around ten years (and lived at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Guesthouse for 5 of those years). He knows both sides of the park exceptionally well (O’Reilly’s and Binna Burra) and is one of the most qualified people to show you where the best photographic locations and subjects are.
