We will be staying at a tried and tested guesthouse in the
heart of Kaapsche Hoop. Not only will you have the opportunity to learn more
about photography in a natural setting, you will also get away for a weekend in
a place not rivalled by many when it comes to silence and serenity.
The focus for the weekend will be on landscape photography and
how to look for the best scenes in nature. I will share with you some of my
secrets in a fun adventurous atmosphere.
Note: This course is
intended for people who already have a basic knowledge of cameras and
photography but who would like to extend their knowledge of landscape and
travel photography.
Some things that we will cover:
Equipment
Scouting for a scene
Composition
Types of light
Long Exposure Photography
Manipulating light
Painting with light as a way to light a subject
Long exposures
Managing gear in difficult situation, keeping gear safe and
dry
Thinking creatively
You will need
A DSLR camera, make
does not matter.
A Tripod, any make or model as long as it will hold your
camera still.
It will be a self catering weekend. There will be a fire
every evening, so bring meat and whatever else you like. There are also some
great local restaurants that we will certainly pay a visit to.
A hat, sunscreen, swimming cloths and good walking shoes, we
won’t let an opportunity to play go by.
Please bring a torch for photography in the evenings.
Poncho or raincoat, bad weather is often the best time to
photograph nature.
Willingness to get up before the sun does; chasing photos
often means giving up some sleep.
When

The activities will start as soon as everyone has arrived. We will depart on
