Getting Off Auto Mode – Discover the magic of shooting with intention. Learn to move beyond automatic settings and take control of your camera’s manual features to truly shape the stories your photos tell.

Lighting Tips & Sunset Shoot – Follow the golden light as it drifts across the landscape. Learn how to anticipate and compose in changing light conditions while capturing the rich tones of dusk.

Night Photography & Low-Light Magic – After dark, the world transforms — and your camera can too. Experiment with long exposures, star trails, and light painting under a sky full of stars.

Composition Secrets – Strengthen your storytelling with framing, leading lines, and the art of negative space. Learn how to compose photographs that captivate the eye and convey emotion.

Animals in Action – Explore movement and personality through the lens. Practice capturing animals, wildlife, and candid moments with clarity and energy.

Photography in Motion: On the Water – Take your camera on the river and master reflections, ripples, and the rhythm of motion. A guided paddle offers the perfect balance of adventure and artistry.

Macro: Up Close & Personal – Discover a world within the details. Learn to capture texture, focus, and depth as you photograph the tiny wonders of nature — petals, insects, and patterns unseen by the naked eye.

Editing Basics – Bring your images to life with photo editing tips. Explore colour grading, cropping, and enhancing natural light while maintaining an authentic look and feel.

Beyond the Lens: Creating Art from Photography – Transform your favourite image into a new medium through painting, felting, or mixed-media creation — where your photograph becomes the muse for something even more personal.

Mindfulness & Storytelling Through Your Lens – Shift from taking pictures to making them. Explore how emotion, presence, and awareness can turn your photography into a deeper form of storytelling.

Photo Hike & Scavenger Hunt – Put your new skills into practice on a creative outdoor challenge. Capture prompts, experiment with composition, and see the landscape through a fresh, playful perspective.

Gallery Share & Closing Circle – Celebrate your weekend’s work with a shared showcase of images. Reflect, connect, and leave inspired — ready to capture the world beyond Camp Riverview.
