Festive Photography - Cambridge Christmas Market (Moore Park) at 9am

Complete beginner? We recommend starting with the Photography for Beginners Class, which is a 3 hour structured workshop where you’ll learn the basics of using your camera with more 1-on-1 time with the instructor.
Looking to learn more? Come along to the group sessions, which are more casual and informal than other workshops, and with more time to take photos and put your new skills into practice.
What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the fortnight’s theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!

Abstract photography is about breaking the rules and allowing us see things in a way that we wouldn’t normally see. Abstract photos can be created both in-camera and through editing, but today we’re going to be looking at our in-camera techniques whilst on a photo walk around Dawes Point.

Great morning at Bondi Markets. Zara and Scott gave us some challenges and great tips to achieve the best results. Both are very accommodating and are available at any time to answer our questions, I love the informal nature of these meet ups

It was my first one and I have no idea what I am doing... so I can't wait to do the beginners and read more in understanding it all.
I needed to leave so didn't get to finish going around. But I really enjoyed it.

I liked having the tips at the beginning from Zara and hints of where to take shots. Her review of my images half way through helped as well. People in the group were friendly and helpful

Great day, great location, great group of people. Zara and Scott are so helpful - no question too much for them. Love the informal nature of this group, if you want to wander around by yourself you can, if you want to stay with Zara and Scott you can.

As always, I love the way this group works - a great way to meet up socially with photographers of varying expertise but with the bonus of having 2 professional photographers (Zara & Scott are great) on hand to provide guidance, challenges and advice.
