12-15 September: Humpbacks, Camera, Action!
Bluedog Photography has again teamed with Kingfisher Bay Resort to run a three-day photographic retreat on World Heritage-listed Fraser Island. These retreats artfully blend Fraser's natural attractions with lessons in wildlife photography – thanks, in part, to the region's holidaying Humpback Whales. There will also be sessions on framing landscapes and seashores, using natural lighting and camera techniques.
