HIGHLIGHTS
A 2-day/1-night location workshop concentrating on Otway National Park and 12 Apostles.
Explore one of Australia's most famous landmarks, admire towering cliff faces and crushing ocean waves.
This outdoor hands-on workshop will help you push your photographic skills to the next level. Personally guided by Oat, he will be able to show you the best spots along the coast as well as teach you the techniques required to get those amazing shots.
Oat will personally escort you while sharing his knowledge and the essence of landscape photography right on location. There is no right camera setting for one particular subject, the natural environment and changing conditions allow you to adapt and adjust settings to take perfect shots every time.

You will also get a chance to try the landscape filters by Kase, please ask when booking and we can assign you a set to use for the time that you are with us.

WET WEATHER
Oat will be keeping his eye on the weather and cloud movement prior and up to the workshop date. However regardless of what the weather is doing the workshop will likely still go on.
Different kinds of weather allows us to try other types of long exposure photography such as light painting indoor and outdoor. The principles are very similar in terms of using your DSLR.
There will also be other sheltered locations for us to use if the weather is particularly bad.

Working alongside Oat for the Astro workshop was a pleasant experience. Being a learner, I wasn't confused on the instructions, as he was very clear and helpful. Truly enjoyed myself. Highly recommend this bloke
- Anne-Marie Eacott
Every time I learn something new. The Astro workshop at Cape Nelson was the best. First time I had someone requesting a copy of a photo taken from the workshop. Highly recommend anyone to attend Oat’s workshop.
- Ann Van Zyl
I was lucky enough to spend a few hours learning about photography with Oat from Hanging Pixels recently. The images you see on his social media are just the tip of the iceberg. The dedication, the professionalism and pure talent that Oat displays is mind boggling. I can't wait to see where Hanging Pixels takes us next!
