Morning light spills across Adelaide’s parklands and the River Torrens pushes a mirror-bright ribbon through the city — this is where the course begins. Participants move from tree-lined promenades to broad civic boulevards, stopping at heritage façades and sweeping skyline viewpoints as an instructor drills camera settings and composition into practical use. The tempo is hands-on and observant: stop, frame, adjust, repeat.

Bring a camera you can control manually
