Final photo workshop

Umina photographer Ms Esther Beaton will conduct her final day safari photography tour for the year on Saturday, November 7.

The final tour will take place at the Wamberal Lagoon and Avoca Beach giving participants the chance to take photos of various waterbirds, rock platforms and tidal pools.

The day tour will also explore the "shaping light" technique of controlling light in high noon, dawn or midnight light.

Other day safari tours throughout the year have taken Ms Beaton and her participants to various locations around the Central Coast including Warrah Trig, Ettalong Point, Bouddi National Park and the Crommelin Native Arboretum in Pearl Beach.

Ms Beaton's work has been published in Time Magazine and National Geographic as well as numerous other magazines around the world.

She frequently carries out assignments for Australian Geographic and was acknowledged as their Photographer of the Year in 1996.

According to Ms Beaton, the springtime workshops share her skills with other photo-enthusiasts.

"It's not necessary to put yourself in danger to get good photos," Ms Beaton said.

"Although you can sometimes find yourself in scary situations, most of the time it just requires researching the right place, plus a pinch of patience, to photograph nature's beauty. "Here on the Central Coast and especially the Peninsula we have marvellous opportunities for dramatic photography, like our coastal scenery, stunning wildflower displays, fantastic birdlife, and most of it is very safe."

Ms Beaton said during the workshops she will teach participants to see nature in new ways. "Using a camera is more than just the technical controls," Ms Beaton said.

"They are essential, but you also have to have a strong purpose, a real desire to communicate your vision.

"You can find and photograph the beauties of nature in not just the obvious and dramatic but also in its more hidden and subtle aspects."
