- We rise early(or maybe before!) to capture the gorgeous early morning light and shifting mists that the Blue Mountains area is known for. Breakfast is supplied at Hotel Etico and after we will explore some great garden locations that out maestro Brent Wilson has found for us.
- Afternoons will be spent relaxing or viewing your morning shoot and learning some valuable tips on botanical editing.
- The second shoot of the day begins in late-afternoon and continues until dusk. Ensuring we out for the golden and blue hours. This is an opportunity to practice the theory and techniques covered during the day in the ever-changing evening light. After dark it’s your time to use as you choose: rest, reflect, dine and delight in the peaceful Blue Mountains. Of course we can change the schedule to suit conditions and if we find an extroadinary place to shoot that we can't resist!
- The price of this workshop includes two full-day workshops but not accommodation or meals. We have secured rooms at the Hotel Etico in Mount Victoria---a queen room is $180 per night and includes a delicious breakfast.
- Participants are requested to provide their own transport from their accommodation and to shoot locations if necessary. We will happily provide transport with pick up and drop off to the train station or see if there is a share ride possibility.
- Lunches and dinners are not included in the workshop and can be enjoyed at your accommodation or at one of the many cafes, restaurants and pubs in the area. Tuesday night we will probably go to the Blackheath Pub which serves great meals and Wednesday night we will enjoy dinner at the hotel.
- This is a gentle trip, which requires a low level of fitness. There will be a small amount of walking to and from shooting locations, occasionally on uneven surfaces with steps and inclines. If you have any doubts about your ability, please contact us directly.
- When you book you will receive a detailed packing list to help you plan for the mountains.
