Blue Mountains Day Course
Our next course date: 7th April 2012 | Cost: $260 | Positions Available

** As Featured in the Sydney Morning Herald - 10th September 2011 **

All of our courses come with 12 months access to our Rubbing Pixels Website valued at $99.

Discover the beauty of the Blue Mountains in a day long photographic course marathon where we will live and breath photography from start to finish.

The course is an all weather course meaning if we have sun or rain the show will go on and the reason why is because when it rains we will get the most beautiful waterfall shots and the course will focus on these type of locations, if the sun is out shinning then we have just as many great locations and vantage points to photograph and I'm not just talking about the tourist spots.

The course goes for approx 7 + hours and starts with a sunrise shoot over one of the many gorgeous lookouts and from here the day unfolds and we are led to locations best shot with the weather we have on the day.

This course ideal for beginners and amateurs looking to develop a solid understanding on how to use their camera, it's functions and to consistently take quality photographs that are perfectly exposed and sharp.

On the 10th of September my courses featured in the Sydney Morning Herald's section called the Traveller. To have a read of the article please click here.

The Blue Mountains Day course is a course that is perfect for beginners to serious amateur photographers. This course will cover the basics of camera set up and functions through to detailed image capture techniques.

At the end of the day you will have a solid understanding of your camera and it's settings, you will be shooting all your images in "Manual" and perfecting them using the histogram so you have perfect exposures every time. You will understand the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and iso and how to use these settings for best results and also the correct use of additional equipment like graduated filters, polarises etc.

You will also know the concepts and techniques behind capturing digital panoramic's.

 

The Blue Mountains Day Course is an opportunity to shoot a range of different locations in a world herritage area. A day that is totally dictated by the weather. If it is wet we shoot the amazing waterfalls like Wentworth, Leura and even Valley of the Waters if your up for a good walk.

If it is try then we shoot from the many lookouts including the Three Sisters, not just from the main viewing platform but from other around the area.

To undertake this course you will need a camera and if possible a tripod. I have numerous tripods of my own that I am happily to lend on the day to those who don't have one or would like to do the day first and see what tripods work best.
