Rob Heyman Photography Workshop

A few days back I went on my first photography workshop. It was such a great experience - Rob Heyman is a Master Photographer with the AIPP - he spent time with us discussing and practicing lighting and composition as well as running a photography business. Here is a pic of Rob at work. Rob has so much knowledge about photography - it's mind blowing, he is quite a character too - so the sitting and listening part was educational, interesting and entertaining (particulary when he threw paper balls at Kym when she couldn't keep quiet!!) I felt like I was hanging with a celebrity - I've known about Rob and his stunning work for many years - so it was amazing to spend two days listening and learning from him.
I tell ya - I had some serious gear envy!! The group was a pretty mixed bunch - from people with many years experience through to me ....with not much time behind me. We also had another Master Photographer attending who had lots of advice and great discussion. I can't say how much I enjoyed my time.

Here is a pic of the ladies I went with - I'm the one without the camera of course!! Next to me is Annie (who coincidently goes to my sisters church and we had a good laugh when we discovered we knew a lot of the same people.) Kym and Jenny are ILPers who I meet on an Aussie Thread. We have shared many hours of photography conversation in our previous get togethers so you can image the gabble when together for a few days in a row. I'm really grateful for this experience. ( I won't tell you what I did to myself with the liquify tool!! haha.)
Here are a few of my shots from our final play at Moffat Beach on the Sunshine Coast - a location I hope to visit again very soon. Isn't it magnificent - particulary with the storm brewing .......?
