Perfect Panoramas is conducted by two of Australia’s leading landscape photographers, gallery owner and panoramic specialist, Adam Monk and two time AIPP Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year, Greg Hocking.
Who should attend: Ideal for intermediate to advanced photographers with a basic working knowledge of Photoshop and who wish to learn the latest panoramic photography techniques.
Perfect Panoramas covers the technical and aesthetic principles in panoramic photography and includes both film and digital photography techniques, camera types, film Vs digital, stitching programs, exposure metering, creative use of filters, image formats, depth of field, creative exposure techniques, shutter speed and aperture for better panoramas. Tripod use, lens choice, optimizing light and camera functions.
This intensive 2 day course will encourage you to look with new eyes at the many aspects of photographing panoramas. We will investigate the various film formats now available, and how best to assemble composite panoramic images from digital capture.
Adam and Greg lead critique sessions, lectures, discussions, demonstrations and the all important field sessions. The beautiful coastal scenery and magnificent forests around Margaret River serve as the inspirational backdrop for our forays into the field.
Students will need a digital SLR camera and lenses along with plenty of memory Cards. Or if you use film, bring your panoramic camera or SLR and plenty of film. Also, don’t forget to bring along a sturdy tripod.
The coure was a big success, with all aspects running smoothly to plan. All the participants had a great time and got a lot out of it, which is the most important aspect.
For Greg and I this was our first time running a course together, so it was a big test. How would we work together on such a thing? Could we integrate our differant skills and produce a good result?
Greg has run and participated in many photgraphic workshops before, he is a seasoned public speaker, so his abilities were never in doubt. For me this was a totally new experience, I was fairly confident I could do it, but it had never been tested... Well, now it has and I loved it. Greg and I worked together extremely well and we both enjoyed it a great deal.
This course is the first in a series that will be run throughout the year. Keep an eye on this site for further updates, or sign up for our Photography course mail outs here. We have a strict no spam policy, so we will never send you rubbish and your details will remain confidential.
