Cornwall Park is filled to the brim with interesting animals, structures and nature to photograph. But it can be hard sometimes to know the best way to capture everything you discover in the park. This workshop will help you to understand your camera settings better and give you the basics for creating high-quality photographs of your park adventures.

This workshop is open to people who have a general to good knowledge of their camera and would like to learn more about how to work the manual functions and photo composition. It does not include photography on smartphones.

The workshop will be run by Sonja Gardien. Sonja owns Studio 541 whose mission is to support, inspire and encourage emerging and established artists, and create an environment for learning and discussions in the area of photography and fine art. www.studio541.co.nz
