Sydney Street Photographers

Please read to the end. This is a ticketed event.

For the very first time Lightscape is coming to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, as part of Vivid Sydney 2023. This internationally acclaimed multi-sensory experience of light, colour and sound is set to wow visitors.

Uniquely curated to take you on a sensory journey through light and sound, transporting you through the Royal Botanic Garden like you’ve never seen before. Beginning under glowing tree canopies filled with colour, stroll beneath larger-than-life flowers and alongside neon roots bursting from the undergrowth, where shards of light fizz through trees like fireworks. Soak in the breath-taking lightworks created by the best local and international artists premiering new works for the first time in Australia, such as Novak, ITHACA Studio, Pitaya, Jigantics, TILT and more.

Watch the sensory story unfold and be taken on a journey, as we celebrate the beauty of this picturesque landmark in an after-dark oasis of botanical brilliance. Lightscape is a timed entry event and sells out across the world – don’t miss it.

We meet at the Opera Bar then at 5:45PM, we walk to the only Royal Botanic Garden entrance to Lightscape, through the Queen Elizabeth II Gate (via Sydney Opera House forecourt).

CHALLENGE: CREATIVE STYLE

Details will come once I work them out.

We will spend 2 hours going through using the current version of LightRoom Classic for Sydney Street Photography users. This will be a face to face session of 2 hours duration. You will bring your laptop with a working version of the latest version of LightRoom Classic 12.4 installed. This way you can replicate the workflow we will discuss and then practise. We will look at the 2 most important tabs, Library & Develop.
In the library tab, we will look at setting up the catalogue, sidecar files, keywords and import/export images and syncing images and folders.
In the Develop tab, we will look at the various modifications we can do to the final image. Masking is the most difficult concept, but we will also spend time on colour, noise reduction and sharpening.

We meet for coffee at 1030, go to Ryde library, Devlin Room at 1055.
Optional lunch afterwards

Undercover parking is free for the first 3 hours at Top Ryde City Shopping Centre.

Also bus services from Central, Town Hall, Parramatta Meadowbank and West Ryde and other locations
