christchurch (new zealand) Smartphone Photography Workshops
carolyn - christchurch, new zealand
I will always regret that I didn’t discover the fabulous world of photography until I was in my mid 60s (10 years ago) and I have to wonder how different my life could have been if only I’d found it earlier.
These days I can not imagine my life without photography. I’m continually browsing photography sites, enthralled with the work of my favourite photographers and constantly discovering new people to follow. When I first became interested and joined a local club, my passion was landscapes but since then it has broadened to include flowers, children, abstracts, ICM, minimalism, etc. Discovering Snapseed (especially the Double Exposure app) has made editing instant and oh so much fun.
Through winter I often go to my nearby beach for sunrise. Walking along the dune-top track with my phone is the perfect start to a day. I look out over the sea and up the coast to the mountains at Kaikoura, the only sounds are the waves and the gulls. When I turn around, I can see the buildings of the city centre and beyond to the Southern Alps. I feel so grateful that I live in such a stunning place and for that time I forget any problems I might have.
I will show you locations you'd typically pass without a second glance as I have lived in Christchurch for 60+ years. I have hosted and taught dozens of international students, guided countless tourists on sightseeing trips, and worked as a city and Botanic Gardens guide.
You can use your newly acquired expertise to develop your skills further and undoubtedly help you realize that there is an image everywhere you go.
