Motion Blur - Using Blur in Photography
Saturday 21 June
N Market St., Charleston - 10am - 2 Hours
Dave Gray
Learn to use intentional motion blur to enhance your photography. We will cover a range of blurring techniques including long exposures, panning and intentional camera movement for artistic purposes. Not all blurry photos are accidents!
Knowing how to control the blur can help lead you to new creative opportunities, expanding your photographic possibilities.
This will be a group-style workshop focused on shared learning and group discussion rather than one-on-one instruction. To help the session run smoothly for all, we kindly ask that you come prepared with a basic understanding of your camera and its settings. This way, everyone can enjoy a consistent and engaging experience together.
Street Photography
Saturday 05 July
Anson St - 10am - 2 Hours
Dave Gray
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.
We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.
