Friends of Coburg Cemetery

Hi everyone, we’re excited to announce a new Friends of Coburg Cemetery event next month.

Capture Coburg Cemetery is a hands-on photography workshop led by Peter Dapiran from Coburg Photography Club, who focuses on street and urban landscape photography. See Peter's work on Instagram @gpeterdapiran or Facebook GPeterDapiran. 

As we walk around the cemetery, Peter will share practical tips on composition, lighting, perspective and using light and shadow to create more striking photos. He'll demonstrate using an iPhone, but the techniques are relevant to other smartphones and digital cameras. No photography experience is needed.

• $30 ($25 for FoCC members)
• Limited to 15 participants
• Photo Challenge: $50 gift voucher for the winning photo

Kind regards,
