Overview:
The Northern Beaches day course is run along Manly Beach. During the day course participants will move, explore and compose unique landscapes taking in the local scene and activity of the area. We will move to Cabbage Tree Baths and also to Shelly Beach where we will expand on the techniques taught thus far. Then onto Manly Cove where we will shoot the calm waters and boats and explore the new craze of digital panoramic's.
Come the evening we will assess the best location for our sunset set shoot where we will put all the days technical and theory into practice.
