Landscape Photography Workshop 

18 April and 2 May 2026

This workshop is an opportunity to learn from one of South Australia’s most experienced landscape photographers.  The workshop will help you understand what constitutes excellent landscape photography and how to achieve these images with your DSLR or mirrorless camera from both a camera management and artistic viewpoint.  The program includes some basic post production techniques using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.   A practical session is included in Session 1, giving you the opportunity to practise what you have learnt, while Session 2 provides the opportunity to have feedback on your work.  This workshop is suitable for all skill levels.  Beginners with a working knowledge of their camera are welcome.  This program is not aimed at photography with a mobile phone.

Peter is an experienced landscape photographer who has presented to South Australian Camera Clubs many times.  He is a regular winner of the Adelaide Camera Club’s landscape trophies, and has been twice a finalist in the biannual Heysen landscape prize.  He is also a SAPF Judge.
