This tour is designed to offer a unique and immersive experience that combines both photography learning and cultural exploration.
The tour is approximately three and a half hours long, walking 2km on a range of surfaces including roads, wooden decks, grass, gravel, and sand. During this time, I will take you on a journey through some of the most iconic and picturesque locations in Port Douglas.
The tour features four key locations that are known for their stunning sunset views - Rex Smeal Park, St Mary's By The Sea, The Sugar Wharf and The Crystalbrook Marina. These locations offer a wide range of photographic opportunities, from natural landscapes to historical landmarks. I will provide historical and cultural information throughout the tour, giving you a deeper understanding and appreciation of the locations you're visiting.
But that's not all - the tour also offers guidance on how to take great photos, covering essential topics such as lighting, composition, focus, and more. I will teach you how to use your camera or phone to its full potential, providing tips and tricks on where to stand and how to capture the perfect shot.
We finish the tour with a pub style dinner at one of Port Doulgas' iconic restaurants where we have the opportunity to review photos and discuss what we have learnt, seen and captured on the tour.
