About this Event
Capturing those interesting travel and community photographs doesn’t have to be limited to places that you’re visiting or holidaying in. Photographing your local city, communities and environments can give you the inspiration for photography you thought could only be captured when travelling. Challenge yourself to see the ‘every day’ as something interesting, unique, different and worth documenting.
Join digiDirect and Nikon Australia in a walking tour of downtown Melbourne. Lead by Nikon School Lecturer Tanya Wilson, you’ll explore architecture, people, food and most importantly light. Tanya will share some tips and tricks that can be used when documenting your city or town that will give your photographs the "wow" to what just seemed stock standard, or simply "everyday images".
You'll also learn when, where and how to use your wide-angle lens. Discover the benefits of shallow depth of field and the fun of slow shutter speeds. She’ll also cover how to be respectful whilst photographing strangers.
This is the perfect course for anyone wanting to start and get creative with their photography and learn how to use their camera and lens gear with more skill to capture those Instagram worthy shots of your city or community.
Skill Level: Entry to Intermediate
Please Note:
A selection of Nikon Z series cameras and NIKKOR Z lenses will be available for trial during the session, along with a Nikon representative to answer your questions
