Tumbalong Nights at Vivid Festival - Music and Art photography

Delve into the electric glow of Vivid Sydney and capture live music at its most dynamic. **Vivid Frames** is a multi-day, hands-on photography workshop set against the immersive backdrop of Tumbalong Nights in Darling Harbour. Designed for photographers ready to elevate their live event work, this workshop blends real-time shooting experience with guided instruction. Over multiple nights, you’ll photograph emerging and established artists under dramatic stage lighting, neon installations, and the vibrant pulse of Vivid crowds. **What You’ll Experience:** Each session places you in the heart of the action at Tumbalong Park, shooting live performances as they unfold. You’ll receive on-the-spot guidance, creative direction, and feedback to help refine your eye and technique in a real-world setting. **Why This Workshop:** There’s no substitute for shooting live. With the scale, colour, and energy of Vivid as your canvas, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to develop your skills in a high-impact, portfolio-worthy environment We are no longer taking payments via PayPal - tickets can only be purchased through [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/vivid-frames-at-tumbalong-nights-vivid-festival-4835325), [Humanitix](https://events.humanitix.com/tumbalong-nights-at-vivid-festival-music-and-art-photography) or the [website](https://printpixel.org/event/tumbalong-nights-at-vivid-festival-music-and-art-photography/).

Vivid Photo Walk - Barangaroo to Darling Harbour

This photo walk will visit some of the light installations on display during the Vivid festival. Starting at Barangaroo and making our way to Darling Harbour in time for the 9:30 Drone Show. We anticipate that it will be fairly busy around the area, and to allow enough time to see & photograph the lights, we may not be covering all installations in these areas on the night. This is a fairly easy walk with lots of stops along the way. We are limiting this walk to only 10 members as it is too difficult to keep a large group together at such a busy event. **DURATION:** Approx 4 hours (up to you when you want to leave) **EQUIPMENT:** Camera, lenses (wide/zoom lens e.g.18-70mm). A tripod and camera remote/cable release are essential for this event. A lot of patience is needed for this event, as there are a lot of photographers and the general public at each of the displays, all of whom have their own agendas. **PERSONAL:** Comfortable walking shoes, water, umbrella/wet weather jacket (if the weather looks bad). **GETTING THERE:** BY TRAIN: Alight at Wynyard Station. It's about a 10-minute walk to Barangaroo For more information about Vivid please visit - (https://www.vividsydney.com/events) COST: $5.00 - There is no refund/transfer of fee for cancellations. Minimum 6 attendees required to proceed. Please Note: By clicking RSVP on this event, you understand that you are attending AT YOUR OWN RISK. We are just organising the event to give you the opportunity to socialise with like-minded people interested in photography and maybe learn something along the way. While all care is taken, no responsibility is taken for any loss or damage/injury to you or your equipment during the event.

SSP Tue - Alley and Lane ways of Sydney - Maverick Marrickville

Hopefully this will be part of a series of walks to discover the lanes and alleys ways of Sydney. We’re heading to the industrial heart of Sydney’s inner west to capture the raw, unscripted soul of Marrickville. This is a photowalk about contrasts: heritage brickwork meets vibrant modern street art, and gritty manufacturing history meets a fast-evolving community. More details to come after I have had a chance to explore the possibilities.

SSP WED - Northside Chat & Edit

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss editing images. Editing images allows you to refine your communication to the viewer of the image’s story. I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.
