Join me for an action packed morning filled with wildlife photography along the shores of the Mandurah Estuary. We will be starting early with a sunrise shoot where we will focus on capturing local species in some gorgeous morning light!
From here we will then catch up at a local cafe (venue TBC) for a 2.5hr post processing session where we can review and edit the images we have made earlier that morning over a cuppa! I will be demonstrating my personal photo editing process using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and will be available to personally assist you with any photo editing queries so you can learn how to make your images really stand out!

A reasonable fitness is required as we'll be doing some walking to get to our photography destinations from the carpark, so please come prepared and bring appropriate footwear.
