hervey bay weekend landscape photography workshops

11-13 April, 15-17 august, 14-16 november 2025

The Fraser Coast in Queensland is home to Hervey Bay: a big wide bay with gorgeous jetties and piers, whale watching tours in winter, crystal clear turquoise water, subtropical wetlands with mangrove trees, sand ripples and lots of space.

Join Wanda for 4 sessions over one weekend, to help you:

  • gain a better understanding of manual camera settings, in particular landscape camera settings

  • compositional ideas and tips, understanding Rule of Thirds and a histogram

  • learn how to use filters (and find out how exciting they can be for your photography)

  • long exposure photography

  • learn techniques such as photographing sun and light stars for that extra sparkle, bokeh, Intentional Camera Movement, panning and much more

Don’t have any filters yet? No worries, filters are available for use on this workshop!

Ready to get your own filters? I’m an authorised reseller for NISI filters, among other camera accessories including tripods too - so when you fall in love with filters on this workshop, I can help recommend the perfect set to start your collection, and an ideal tripod for your shooting style.

Why book with me?

I have been running workshops in this area for many years, I am in the Bay regularly and have a large selection of locations to choose from, to ensure we don’t go to the same location twice. I can arrange an optional heli flight (doors off!) for you over the Fraser Coast (if conditions optimal), or give you some tips for an optional whale watching tour during whale season.

I am 100% dedicated to giving you the tools to improve your landscape photography, helping your confidence grow as we practice over four 90-minute intensive sessions.

Don’t just take my word for it: read about what previous clients have said!
