Here at the head of the Hawkesbury River, you'll find Aboriginal engravings and sites, as well as sandstone escarpments  black and white   nature  use of colour   macro   camera handling  4 hours  $A100

 
     

DESCRIPTION:

Well known by the original inhabitants, the Guringai aborigines - the Hawkesbury, Ku-ring-gai and Berowra wilderness areas offer countless opportunities to improve your nature photography skills. On this delightful walk, we pass underneath towering sandstone escarpments, see scarlet rosellas sweep across the clear sky, bath in clear waters on secluded creek sand spits (if its hot enough) and silently came across wildlife as we twist and turn beside tidal creeks.
This workshop has a focus on NATURE, BLACK AND WHITE, MACRO, CAMERA HANDLING. That means carefully composed shots of trees, close-ups of wildflowers, texture shots of the scribbly barks. We will be endeavouring to give you a feeling for classic design, an understanding of lighting and how to use your camera, what film is best for shooting nature and more...

 

Our route is the Gibberagong track to Bobbin head (formerly the Grosvenor track - 6.5km one way, 3 hrs easy walk downhill). The track starts as a fire trail at the end of Grosvenor Rd, Wahroonga. The fire trail follows a ridge and zigzags down to the scenic Gibberagong waterholes then follows the beautiful Spring Gully creek. We finish off at the Halvorsen Marina - perfect for nautical style shots with moored boats and rustic boardwalks.
