Brainstorming and breakouts at festival photography workshop

By Darren Stones

During my 3-hour photography workshop at the Henry Lawson Festival on Saturday June 9, 2012 at 8.30am, I will be facilitating brainstorming and breakouts. This will encourage participants to provide creative input and ideas that can be immediately transformed into creating better photographs.

Goals
The goals of the workshop are:

• To inspire participants to create new photographs of travel photography subjects
• To provide a friendly and relaxed environment for participants to learn
• To provide participants with the opportunity to seek instant feedback
• To provide participants with the opportunity to ask photography related questions

The workshop will be conducted "In The Field", and will be a great opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded people.

The 2012 Grenfell Festival Travel Photography Workshop is specially designed to encourage participants to think critically in a short time frame and then create quality photographs of various subjects at different locations in Grenfell.

Book your place today. Check the Workshops page for details.

Travel Photography - Special Events

By Darren Stones

Photographing at Special Events is another exciting aspect to travel photography. Indoor and outdoor performances require good concentration and a sound knowledge of equipment and etiquette. Flash photography is generally regarded as a no-no, as it spoils the ambience and blinds the artist.

Jimmy Barnes always attracts a big audience, and during March 2011 he performed in front of thousands at the North Melbourne Football Ground in Victoria as part of the Aussie Rock on Arden concert. Being a warmish day, the sweat was evident on Barnes and the crowd. A great day - a great outdoor performance.

I used my 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM lens at 200mm to photograph Jimmy Barnes. In low light, good equipment and a steady hand is required to capture sharp images as performers like Barnes are always moving on stage. ISO 1600, 1/250sec, f/2.8.

At the 2011 Australian Photographic Society National Digital Exhibition, this photograph received an acceptance award. A nice reward, and a bonus on top of what was an enjoyable concert.

This photograph of Jimmy Barnes is available for sale in a variety of quality print products. Purchasing is easy via the internet, and each product comes with a money back guarantee. If you're looking for a quality framed print to decorate a feature wall in a living area in your home, or a wall in your office, you'll find framing, matting and size options to suit your budget.
