Street Photography

Saturday 26 September
Quay Street Rockhampton - 2pm - 2 Hours
Sylvia Liber
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.

    Very good and Sylvia tried her hardest to get around everyone and help/teach. Being a big group with all different levels of skill was a true testament to her.

    I absolutely loved the event! I've been nervous to connect and make friends in Australia- Being foreign is scary in a new place and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to attend the workshop. I felt totally at ease and comfortable when I arrived. Location was described well and was easy to find. I learned multiple new skills from Sylvia, and she showed me some settings on my camera that I didn't even know about. She's an excellent teacher and took the time to explain things in a way that was easy for me to understand.

    Good group size. Flexibility to adjust to what emerges. Good instruction. I got out of it what I wanted, a little more confidence to take photos in public and approach strangers. Would definitely go back again.

    Even though the weather was a little wet, was interesting to see what can be photographed. Had to look at the seascape in a different light. Thank to Sylvia for the afternoon. Enjoyed myself even though at time balancing umbrella and camera was a challenge.

    Fantastic organisation and communication of details. I was very happy with the clarity in the instruction and the hands on approach to learning. I was able to finally understand how to begin purposefully using the manual settings and have a lot of fun doing it.

    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON
