NRL Field Photography: Ampol Women’s State of Origin

We’re back on the sideline for 2021!

This is your chance to experience a truly unique course to Nikon School as a sideline field photographer for when the NSW Blues take on the QLD Maroons in the 2021 Ampol Women’s State of Origin.

Picture yourself positioned along the try line of this iconic game.

The crowd is roaring and both teams are hungry for a win. You’re positioned in your Nikon-exclusive spot right on the field ready for that perfect shot. A player scores a try, and you’ve captured the drive in the players’ eyes leading up, the side-step evading the defending team, the final dive to the try line, and that fanatical post-try celebration with teammates. Just imagine the memories you could create…

This course is ideal for individuals who have a reasonable grasp of their DSLR or Mirrorless camera and would like to advance their sports photography skills while photographing from an exclusive sideline location.

This exciting course from Nikon School will take your creative and technical skills to the next level. This hands-on course will show you how to make amazing images while advancing your technical skill and exposure techniques, all while building on your existing photographic knowledge.
