A Day of Aerial Photography Sea cliffs, tidal flats and a rugged coastline all add up to an amazing opportunity to make beautiful landscapes from a new perspective. With a wealth of experience between them, your instructors will take you through every aspect of shooting from the air, with drones and with helicopters. We will be looking at all aspects of working from the air, from how to work safely through to how to ensure that the images you make are sharp and well composed. You will have the opportunity to put all your class room learning into practice with a doors off helicopter flight around some of the spectacular Bruny Island coastline. As we will only be sending a few people up at a time in the helicopter, the rest of us will spend time closer to the ground making images using drones. A great day which is sure to result in some awesome images from a totally fresh perspective.

Bruny Island Cruise Cruise alongside some of Australia’s highest sea cliffs, beneath towering crags and drift up close to listen to the awesome ‘Breathing Rock’. Enter deep sea caves, pass through the narrow gap between the coast and ‘The Monument’ and feel the power of nature at the point where the Tasman Sea meets the might of the Southern Ocean. Join in the search for the abundant coastal wildlife such as seals, dolphins, migrating whales and sea birds. The highly trained interpretive guides love what they do - they work hard to ensure that the experience is fun, enjoyable, entertaining and informative. The custom-built yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of Bruny Island. Covered open-air tiered seating means an excellent all-round view and connection with the environment. BREAKAWAY The What happens on the workshop?
