This full day photography workshop has been specifically designed with the beginner photographer in mind. Mark and Michael will explain the basics of photography, show you some simple techniques and talk to you individually about your camera settings. Each participant’s skill levels will be assessed and tuition will be given according to that skill level. Mark and Michael are both extremely patient and understanding and will make sure every participant feels comfortable with the tuition given.
Your day starts at Harry’s Lane in Buderim, where you will meet Mark and Michael and the other participants. It is here that you will be shown various photographic techniques and your camera settings will be explained. Once everyone is comfortable to go to the next step, you will head through Buderim Forest Park along a flat, 1km track to the beautiful waterfall at the end. Morning tea (supplied by Trekabout) will be at Buderim Forest Park and lunch can be purchased at Buderim shops or bring your own.
After lunch, we will head to Buderim where Mark will show you simple post-processing techniques that require little skill level or previous experience. The idea of this session is to show some effective, yet easy-to-use techniques that will help you to get your photos looking great. Mark and Michael will also critique some photos from the morning sessions.
We the head down to the Maroochy Botanic Gardens, for macro and close-up photography tuition. Here you will have a chance to hone your skills photographing the myriad of flowers and insects. If you are a beginner in photography and struggling to get decent photos or are overwhelmed by your camera’s digital technology, this workshop is for you. Trekabout Photography Workshop assure you of a day full of learning fun and with like-minded people.
