The landscape throughout Skippers Canyon, once the richest gold mining area in the world, is ruggedly spectacular and best seen in autumn when the trees are ablaze with colour and in Summer when the light can reach deep into the valley turning the Shotover River into a blue azure strip of colour. Our four wheel drive (4WD) Photo Safari follows the narrow winding road that serviced the gold fields, once home to thousands of miners. All that remains of this era is a beautifully restored School House and the sculptured landforms produced by the gold diggings.  

Your tutors Mike Langford or Jackie Ranken will help you learn how to take your camera off automatic and to fully utilise your camera in a practical and logical way. Much of the day is spent discussing composition and solving any photographic problem that arises. The day is spent photographing in places suited to the weather conditions, allowing everyone time and circumstance to express their own vision, and at the same time receive constructive and appropriate critiques of their images.

Canon EOS 80D, EOS R cameras available for use if needed (at no extra cost).
