Tutorials and Events

Tutorial: Wildlife/Pet/Critique

Date: Friday, 3rd August 2012
Time: 4pm – 6pm
Location: Central Lecture Block (CLB) (Signage displayed in CLB Foyer)

This week we explore wildlife photography along with creating great pet portraits (‘pawtraits’). The tutorial will also be accompanied by an in-class pet photography demonstration! (thats right – we’ve got some furry friends coming in). We will cover: tour/safari, underwater, macro, bird, and pet as the subjects with 3 types of techniques (portrait, behaviour, and environment). Critique night will follow the tutorial so bring any photos you’d like to show off on USB, or alternatively you could just link us to your online portfolio/flickr on the night.

This week PhotoClub is off to the zoo! Zoos are great locations to practice photography as they present us with both a great variety of subjects (both animals and the people watching them). Since we will be attending as a group, we must also enter the zoo as a group therefore we require you to arrive at 10AM at the latest.

Option 1: Take the ferry at 9.35AM Depart at Circular Quay (9.47 arrival at Taronga Zoo) – Recommended route – You will be greeted by Renny
Option 2: Alternatively you can directly meet us at Taronga Zoo Wharf – You will be greeted by Andrew
