This Creative Workshop Will Cover
In this creative project, you will be shown the optimum camera settings to capture decisively so that you can concentrate on capturing fleeting moments, rather than worrying about whether you have the correct camera settings. A model (on the move) will be provided to allow you to hone your creative skills.
Learn the optimum settings to capture fast moving subjects. Port Melbourne offers plenty of opportunity to capture quickly moving subjects such as cyclists, people rollerblading, dogs etc. Mark will guide you as to the settings he uses so that he never misses a decisive moment.
In this project we will capture a long-exposure seascape at this stunning location. You will be shown the optimum camera settings to ensure success. You will then master the craft of keeping sharp focus throughout your scene, using remote release, while blurring the sea to capture the tranquil mood.
In this project you will be shown the optimum camera settings to capture a professional quality portrait, with very shallow depth of field, while ensuring the eyes are kept pin sharp. You will have the opportunity to work with a prime lens (that lends itself to this type of work) and a model while you practice the skills of ensuring the eyes are pin sharp.
