About
Cover more ground and watch the light change by the Yarra River by combining the street and night photo tours for this incredible extended experience. We will capture the beautiful skyline and the Victorian era buildings that support them, as well as all the hidden alleys and expressive landscape that make Melbouen the vibrant photogenic city it is.
Each tour is crafted to the skills and needs of the participants. Over our six hours together we will go over:
- Understanding your camera: technical aspects such as Aperture, ISO and shutter speed
- How to frame the perfect image. What to include, and what not to include.
- Night photography techniques, what settings and locations work best.
- Make sure you are standing in the right place at the right time to get the perfect picture
- Reviewing your photography.
No matter what your level is, we will make sure the tours are suited to your level. We typically start with a coffee to go over technical details, find your interests, and plot a course that will be relevant and educational to you. Absolute beginner or semi-professional, we will have you covered.
Each tour is private, and we will not couple you with people you do not know. Feel free to bring along guests, such as other photographer friends, or your partner and family, but we ask you to limit the group to four people. This way we can work at your pace to make sure you take away the skills that last a lifetime.
Extended tour combine the Street Tour and the Night Tour. Tours booked from this page are presented back-to-back. Should you prefer to take them over consecutive days, select both the Street Tour and Night Tour separately from their respective pages, and then use the code COMBOTOUR at checkout to apply the discount.
What to bring
In addition to your camera, we highly recommend bringing a tripod. If you don't have one, you can rent it when booking.
