Fascinating Fungi: A practical macro photography workshop

Learn the art of macro fungi photography from award-winning New Zealand macro photographer Paula Vigus.
For this special Sony Scene practical workshop we are bringing Paula to Wellington to share her knowledge and demonstrate how she goes about achieving such wonderful macro images of fungi. Paula will demonstrate using her camera setup of choice: the Sony Alpha 7R V and FE 90mm F2.8 G macro lens. This workshop is open to all camera brand users and is designed for beginner macro shooters.
You'll come away from this workshop equipped with the knowledge of interesting and endemic fungi, how to plan and approach an outdoor macro shoot, the ideal camera settings and what you need in your macro kit. Paula will also provide an online post-production session so you can see how she edits her incredible macro shots.
This practical workshop involves:
An online briefing prior to the practical workshop.
3-4 hours on the ground shooting with Paula in the Botanic Gardens
An online editing session
An optional photo review one week following the workshop
As this is an outdoor workshop there is a weather element: we have planned for a weekend shoot that may shift from the Saturday to the Sunday if required.
This is a ticketed event: register via Sony Scene https://scene.sonyanz.com/events/fascinating-fungi-a-practical-macro-workshop
