I returned to the estuary of the mouth of the Hindmarsh River in Victor Harbor when I was there on the weekend.
This was at the same time as Peter Eastway was running his Fleurieu Peninsula landscape (digital) photography workshop at Whalers Inn Resort in association with Ron Langman Their landscape locations (at dawn and dusk) were Petrel Cove and the coastal rocks around Port Elliot. Eastway, is a magazine editor who runs the Better Photography magazine, as well as running landscape photography workshops around Australia and overseas photography trips/tours.
Digital technology makes these workshops viable because you can upload the digital files to the computer after the dusk/dawn photoshoot, quickly process them, and then discuss them in a workshop the next day. They are popular because you can have fun, enjoy good food and wine, and socialise with other members of the group.
I returned to the Hindmarsh River estuary because I had to give up the previous black and white photo shoot up a couple of weeks ago as it started raining just as I was photographing the melaleucas.
