Vivid Night Workshops, 2015

Night Workshops at Vivid May/June 2015

This year I'm holding several night workshops at Sydney's Vivid festival
May 22, May 24
June 04 + June 05
Interested in attending any of these dates? Please email me at betterdigitalmag@gmail.com to book a spot. (Note that these tend to be quite popular so book early).
Cost is $75 for the night and includes pre-shoot briefing, an escorted workshop (till 10pm) plus my usual follow up critique session on your submitted images via www.vimeo.com

These workshops are designed to show you how to capture the best stills (and video clips) of this iconic and incredibly colourful festival of light.
Techniques include how to work with your tripod to create the sharpest shots, high dynamic range shooting (HDR), compositing techniques (in post-production) and of course, night exposures. 
If you are into video I will also show students how to capture great looking time-lapse night shooting videos.

HDR photography is a good technique when shooting high contrast subjects such as at Vivid.
Two things are required to get this right: a good solid tripod and patience.

The big picture is important when shooting a festival like Vivid
but don't forget to shoot close-ups and details...
