This half‑day workshop leads photographers from the shaded foothills of Mt Wellington—where you’ll learn long‑exposure waterfall techniques—to a sunset and early‑twilight shoot over Hobart’s Eastern Shore, with practical instruction on exposure, ISO, depth of field and filters and a printed photography “cheat sheet” to take home.

THE LANDSCAPE

Waterfall shooting in the Mt Wellington foothills

Begin with a guided shoot at a waterfall in the foothills of Mt Wellington where the group practices long exposures to capture the silky flow effect that defines striking waterfall images.

THE LIGHT

Sunset and early twilight on the Eastern Shore

After a transfer to the Eastern Shore, the workshop focuses on composition, exposure settings and filters as participants photograph sunset and the coming city lights across Hobart.

THE SKILL

Practical, hands‑on camera coaching

Designed for beginner to intermediate photographers, the session covers exposure, ISO, depth of field and filter use, includes a printed ‘Photography Cheat Sheet’ and offers direct feedback while you shoot.

The workshop runs mid‑afternoon, beginning roughly three hours before sunset with a short discussion of camera settings and theory, followed by a guided waterfall shoot in the Mt Wellington foothills. Participants then transfer to Hobart’s Eastern Shore to work through composition and long‑exposure techniques at sunset and into early twilight.
