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 and wildlife photography techniques, digital workflow and post processing 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.
