Photography Tip - Using light in travel photography

George Eastman, founder of Kodak said:

'Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire light. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.'

Many travellers mistakenly think that owning an expensive DSLR camera automatically makes them a great travel photographer. If that were true, Australia would have 14,000,000 great photographers. Unfortunately, that's a long way from the truth.

Quality travel images, including travel portraits come from an understanding of the way light works. Part observation, part camera knowledge and part one's ability to engage the subject are the key elements.

Dale Neill is running another On The Move photography workshop (Travel and Street Photography), over three days, commencing on 15 November 2014.

For the young at heart and adventurous travel photographer Wild Heart's photographic and cultural tour of Budapest, Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast sets sail in April 2015. 

The best lens for portrait photography

Which camera sensors produce the best skin tones? 
What are the three best lenses for portrait photography?
What are five simple tips for relaxing and posing people?
Where do you focus in a portrait - the near side eye or the dominant eye?

Master Photographer Dale Neill* answers these questions and more in a new UWA Extension workshop on August 10 and 14. Follow the link Photographing Faces for details and booking. 

The workshop includes a morning of theory and practice in the classic old limestone building at UWA Extension (previously Claremont Teachers College. )

In the afternoon we transfer to the corridors and arches of the University of Western Australia Nedlands for a full practical portrait shoot. Four days later we meet in the evening for a display and critique of your best images.
