Photography Tour

Imagine…… big sky sunsets, native wildlife in close proximity in their natural habitat, the warm glow of the campfire and lava tubes coated with natural colours. It begs to be savoured and captured….. by everyone. Undara Experience has a 3 day tour aimed at those with the desire to learn more about the art of photography. Discover how to use your camera to unleash the best in your subjects in a completely natural and unique environment.
Some of the things you will learn include:

• Camera functions
• Digital photography secrets
• Framing
• Portraiture
• Understanding technical details like aperture, ISO, shutter speed and white balance

While on-site you will get the opportunity to visit and photograph the lava tubes, sunrises and sunsets, wildlife and low light scenes.

The tour is structured to allow you complete access to experienced photographers who want to impart their knowledge. You will get the chance to visit the lava tubes before shooting to give you a greater insight into what you want to capture and the chance to discuss the best methods to do so, the opportunity to get close to and capture the native flora and fauna of this diverse region and a small group experience all aimed at helping you take better photos.

This tour is not targeted at those with years of photographic experience at a high level but to those who have an interest and desire to get the most out of their camera. While on tour you can expect creature comforts like wine and cheese at sunset, fully catered sumptuous meals all delivered with the warm country hospitality that Undara is known for.
