Join renowned photographer and educator Jay Collier from Photographers Collective for a 2 hour landscape workshop to capture the dragons head at 16th Beach in Rye.

Each guest will receive a complete professional Haida M10 filter kit to use for the duration of the workshop which contains the M10 filter holder with drop in circular polarising filter, a 15,10 and 6 stop Red Diamond Series ND filter as well as a 3 stop soft graduated filter. Please note your lens must have 58,62,67,72,77 or 82mm filter sized threads to be compatible with the filters.

During this workshop you will be guided by Jay in a small group of only 6 guests to allow plenty of 1 on 1 tuition to learn:

• How to use ND filters to capture dramatic landscape images
• Which filter to use when why
• Calculating exposure times
• balancing ISO, aperture and shutter speed
• Focus and depth of field for sharp images
• Understanding light and mastering exposure
