Join me and for an epic landscape and astrophotography adventure over 4 days in one of NZ's most remote and enchanting locations - The Catlins. The area is home to endless amazing waterfalls, lighthouses and seascapes so there will be an amazing variety of locations to choose from to hone your photography skills, while learning many settings and techniques to improve your results. This is a small group with only 3 attendees on the workshop to further benefit your learning experience.
You’ll learn how to use simple techniques to improve your composition, master your camera’s settings and use filters to enhance the images you capture. I’ll also help you perfect more advanced techniques such as focus stacking and exposure bracketing to improve your results when photographing challenging landscape and astro scenes. You’ll also learn how to take the potential from your RAW images and turn it into an image that will wow you through the use of both Lightroom and Photoshop. And of course we’ll have a ton of fun and adventures along the way too.
