Shallow Depth of Field - Online Training
2026-03-17 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Whether you’re looking to create creamy backgrounds for portraits or isolate a single petal in a macro shot, understanding how to control your focus is essential. We are thrilled to have Sharon lead this online session, where she will break down the technical side of aperture and the creative side of storytelling through selective focus.
In this session, we’ll cover:

The Physics of Focus: How aperture, focal length, and distance work together.

Gear & Settings: Getting the most out of your lenses.

Creative Isolation: When (and why) to go shallow.

Troubleshooting: Avoiding the “missed focus” trap.

Grab your favourite beverage, settle in at your computer, and get ready to sharpen your skills by learning how to soften your backgrounds.

May:A Sense of Movement
Photography often freezes time, but this theme asks you to show the passage of it. We are looking for images that convey motion, whether through the silky blur of a waterfall (long exposure) or the streaking background behind a moving car (panning).

Mastering Monochrome
About this Workshop
Monochrome photography is more than just removing colour; it is about learning to see the world in its most fundamental forms. When we strip away the distraction of hue, we are left with the “bones” of an image: light, shape, and texture.
In this interactive online session, we will explore why some images fail in black and white while others become timeless masterpieces. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, this workshop will give you a fresh perspective on your portfolio.

Strip away the colour and show us the world in black and white. Entries must be purely monochromatic (black, white, and shades of grey) or toned entirely in a single colour (like sepia or cyanotype).

Candid Moments Online Training
2026-06-16 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Event: The Unseen Moment – Mastering Candid Photography
Location: Online via Zoom – Hosted by Rockingham Photography Club
About this Workshop
The best photos are often the ones people don’t know you’re taking. Candid photography is the art of being an “invisible observer,” capturing raw emotion, spontaneous laughter, and the quiet beauty of everyday life without the stiff feel of a posed portrait.
Whether you are interested in street photography, wedding work, or simply want better photos of your family and friends, this session will teach you how to anticipate “The Decisive Moment” before it disappears.

July:Candid Moments
Capture an unposed, spontaneous moment involving people. The subjects should not be looking at the camera or “performing” for the photographer. This could be a street scene, an interaction at a market, or a quiet moment at a public event.
