What to expect
Your photographer will start by walking through aperture, shutter speed and ISO—the core controls you need to understand. Then you'll head out into Melbourne to put theory into practice, stopping at locations chosen for their visual interest and current light quality. Expect to shoot, review, adjust and shoot again. Your tutor will review images on the back of your camera, pointing out what's working and where you can refine your framing or exposure. This is a working session, not a lecture.
Good to know
Bring a fully charged camera battery and a tripod if you're doing the night session. The course notes are yours to keep. Food and drinks aren't included. You'll need your own transport to the starting point—no hotel pickups offered.
