DSLR and Mirrorless Photography Basics Course

This 4 hour photography tour is perfect if you are at a beginner or an intermediate level, and aiming to improve your digital photography skills.

Along with your experienced teacher, you will be taken through your camera's functions, and, whether you are a tourist or a local, you will capture a new side of Sydney using the manual settings on your camera: exposure control, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and tips on composition, lighting, and white balance. You’ll learn how to take interesting portrait, architectural and landscape images, as well as shots using shallow depth of field (blurry backgrounds).

We will walk the historic streets of Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point, drawing inspiration from the surrounding Victorian terraces and art deco features. Get up close and experiment with colourful shots at the local Saturday market, water reflections of Sydney Harbour, and explore secret spots along the way.

The tour includes a stop for a coffee or tea where we can answer any questions you may have. This informal workshop is the perfect opportunity to discover less visited areas of Sydney while developing and mastering your photography skills and style.
