Food Photography Workshop this weekend. Possibly the most special thing me and Shellie do. It's a peaceful location in the countryside. A deep expression of our creative and technical offerings. Decades of knowledge and experience wrapped into four days. And our guests get so much out of it.

We feel good doing this.

Below is the Nikon Zfc collection because Sharon here is sporting her cute little camera with the TT Artisan 35mm F1.8 lens and I just love it when somebody finds their joy in photography.

We don't half enjoy ourselves on these events. Here Shellie is making kanelbulle for a shoot... And we get to eat them while still warm :)

More than anything this workshop is a chance to delve deep into light. It's probably one of the best workshops you can do to grasp control of your photography. The basics apply to most every other aspect of your captures, but food is "still life" and just a lot easier to experiment with.

Food doesn't run away when you bring the camera out! Always start with the right light.

"What matters more, the camera or the photo?"

One really really special moment on this workshop is when everyone sees a large scale print taken on their camera, usually for the first time ever.

Folks don't realize just how good their cameras really are. Some are shooting with $15,000 cameras, versus this Nikon at maybe $1500. The photos don't look so different.

We wrapped the workshop today. Sharing a few more pics here from the weekend. Yesterday started with a trip to the farmers market in Daylesford, and loads of luscious sunlight :)

The produce in regional Victoria really is amazing. Daylesford is especially lovely for the small producers who sell their goods at the weekend market.

Small is good :)

My day out at the market was 100% shot with my cheapo 40mm F2 by TT Artisan. Can recommend :)

We like a fancy 50mm for studio work, but that 40mm F2 is a bargain and so easy to pack when travelling with the teeny tiny Lumix S9.

Morning light at the farmhouse is pretty special. I've been renting this little place for workshops since 2011 and I never get tired of the kangaroos, kookaburra and cockies... or that morning light.
