Water and Land Surface and Depth with Peter Rees
2025-10-31 14:00 - 2025-11-02 15:00
A significant percentage of our landscape photography lives are spent dealing with the visual relationship between water and land. Whether it’s the reflective qualities water gives to landscape, the movement of water through or over the landscape or the effects water has on that landscape.This workshop will explore ways of using that relationship to enhance our picture-making. We will explore aspects of reflection movement, shutter speed, long exposures and ICM. Equally as important, in a series of sessions, we will delve into creative post-processing techniques to further enhance the potential of our images.

For nearly 40 years Peter Rees has been engaged in fine art as a painter and photographer, with more than 20 exhibitions and vast experience teaching and leading workshops. He brings a painter’s eye to photography and will offer fresh perspectives on how to render the world around us.

This workshop will be based at Rotorua and showcase the beautiful Lake Tarawera and some of its other most picturesque lakes and water features.

On Friday we will meet at the Cedarwood Lakeside – Motel & Conference Venue 17 Holden Avenue, Rotorua at 2.00 pm for a briefing and proceed to our first location. Dinner will be followed by an inspirational talk by Peter.

On Saturday we will use locations that span the intimate to the epic returning to the Conference Centre late afternoon for a further processing session.

On Sunday we will do one last photoshoot and a session reviewing images in the Conference Centre concluding at around 3.00 pm.

Please note our schedule will be subject to weather.
