LOCAL organisation Click Collective is hosting a nature photography meet in Lal Lal in early October.<\/p>\n
The afternoon will be an opportunity to take photos of nature and learn new photography techniques from experts.<\/p>\n
Photography locations will include waterfalls, bush, grasslands, and wildlife, with the session suitable for beginner and intermediate photographers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe run a number of workshops around Ballarat with beginner workshops through to processing workshops and this meet is kind of an extension of that,\u201d said Andy Smith, co-director of Click Collective.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is sort of a special event we organise, and future ones will be at different venues.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe location means it\u2019s a bit more hands on and participants can get stuck into photography.\u201d<\/p>\n
The session is open for people who may know nothing about photography or those who have some experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of our clients are more towards that beginner range, so we\u2019ll teach anyone from picking up the cameral for the first time to more advanced shooting techniques,\u201d said Mr Smith.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019ve got a camera, bring that along bit if you\u2019re learning the ropes and only have an iPhone, we can still teach on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as learning new skills, the workshop is also an opportunity to get amongst nature.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis workshop is more about spending the afternoon out in nature and out at Lal Lal there\u2019s of course the waterfalls,\u201d said Mr Smith.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s also wildlife, the reservoir, the birdlife so it\u2019s just a pretty awesome place to spend an afternoon really.\u201d<\/p>\n
