SEASCAPE photography workshop

The Art of Seascapes, Sunsets & HDR Photography

WHAT YOU WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHING

With such a visually dramatic coastline Cape Town is the perfect place to practice seascape photography.

For this workshop we focus on the art of photographing seascapes during the golden hours of sunset looking at HDR techniques and how to make your sunset pictures ‘pop’.

HIGHLIGHTS: The techniques of seascape & sunset photography, The ‘How to’ of HDR (High Dynamic Range), white balance tricks, flash techniques

Recommended Camera Equipment: 

As we will be on the shore we strongly recommend cleaning materials for lens and body.

Point & Shoot: To make the most of the above techniques your camera needs to be capable of changing aperture, exposure compensation, white balance and flash settings (many of the new cameras have these features just look in your manual).

Enthusiast: Single DLSR body. All in one zoom lens such as 18-200mm or a 18-70mm or 24-120mm (anything in these approx focal lengths) A wide angel lens will be very useful anything less than 20mm. A support system either a tripod or bean bag is essential.

Serious enthusiast: Similar set up to enthusiast but a full frame DSLR will be a bonus as will super wide angles lenses such as 10-20mm or 14mm on full frame. A tripod or bean bag is essential. To maximize your opportunity bring along the recommended optional extras such as Ngrad filters & a cable release

Optional accessories: Tripod, External Flash, Camera bag, Polarizing Filter, N-grad filters, Cable Release, Camera Cleaning Equipment, Spare Batteries & Memory Cards

We Don’t Recommend: Large telephoto lenses as we’ll be focusing on getting the ‘bigger’ picture as opposed to close ups of seabirds etc 

If you don’t have a tripod is very easy to make a ‘bean bag’, just buy a ziplock plastic bag and fill it with a 2kg sealed bag of rice. You can tape up the zip seal to ensure it stays airtight.

PLEASE BRING YOUR CAMERA MANUALS 
DON’T FORGET TO BRING WATER, HAT & SHOES FOR THE BEACH
