Course outline: We begin the course at Everleigh market (Carriageworks) with a recap of your camera’s main functions and buttons. Then across to the undercover heritage-listed railway workshop where the farmers’ market is held to start shooting. This authentic growers’ market has a variety of fresh farm produce which lends itself to impromptu travel style shots using shallow depth of field techniques. We will also shoot in indoor gritty industrial photographic backdrops, providing practice for some low light shooting and composition.

We then proceed to Chinatown and Darling Harbour where afternoon light provide good photo subjects for refining your street and travel photography. We finish the workshop, by practising techniques and shutter speeds to capture fast and slow moving subjects.
