Required Materials

Check the weather and dress appropriately for the day. Wear sturdy footwear for walking long distances.

Bring along your lunch and plenty of water. If you are in the mood for a cheese plate Magpie Springs should be able to provide this, but you will need to book this ahead of time.

Bring your own DSLR camera and/or film camera and a selection of lenses if you have them. You will also need spare memory cards and batteries. Film users should bring spare batteries and lots of film. A sturdy tripod with remote trigger or cable release is recommended, as are graduated and non-graduated neutral density and polarising filters if you have them.

N.B. A alternative date may be arranged in the event of bad weather.

Please be aware that Hope Forest has a microclimate where it is often much cooler than in Adelaide. Before the workshop we recommend checking the local weather at  http://www.bom.gov.au/places/sa/hope-forest so you can dress appropriately.

Additional Information

Spend a day amongst the rolling hills at Magpie Springs Cellar Door and Art Gallery south of Adelaide. Once settled, we will begin to extend your vision of the natural landscape. Learn to see the parts that make up the whole, and how best to interpret the landscape under different lighting conditions. After lunch, you will be encouraged to walk up the river and over the hills to create images practised and discussed during the first part of the day.
