City Lights Workshop

As dusk descends on Brisbane, the city's lights put on a display of colour, mood, contrast and patterns. This presents many opportunities to create interesting colour images of the city at this special time of day.

Photographing at dusk enables us to take full advantage of the balance between ambient light and artificial light, to produce images with beautiful rich colours. This workshop will increase your skills in night photography. It is suitable for both Digital and Film SLR camera users.

Topics covered in this workshop are:

• Calculating exposures at night
• Bracketing
• Experimenting with long exposures
• Digital noise
• Composition
• Filters
• Lenses

The workshop will commence with an illustrated lecture at the college at 3.30 pm. We will then move in to the city to capture the dusk light. Once the daylight fades completely we will search for exciting artificial light scenes, patterns and textures around the city near the Brisbane River. The workshop will end at around 7.00 pm IN THE CITY.

A tripod is essential for this workshop, and a cable release is recommended. A manual SLR camera (film or digital) is required for this workshop. If you are working with a film camera, film can be purchased from the college at very competitive prices.

Course Fee is $110.00
