2026 Smartphone Photography Workshop for Garden Lovers
A three hour hands on workshop learning the ins and outs of smart phone photography in the garden and general landscape. Morning tea included.
Today’s modern smartphones produce remarkable pictures. But there are a host of features and techniques that most people don’t know about. This Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens smartphone photography course, presented by professional photographer John Swainston, will:
• Show you the 10 essential features in your phone for better pictures
• Demonstrate options in your phone you may not even know about!
• Help you use video sequences for more complete story-telling options
• Equip you to visually document your garden milestones and development over time
• Help you create wall-art quality pictures of your favourite flowers and garden views
• Teach you when and where to get great shots, even when the sun isn’t shining
A modern smartphone can cost up to $2,500. This SHBG course will ensure you get the most from that investment. While the demonstrations are given on an iPhone 17 Pro, parallel techniques for Samsung Android system users will also be covered. Custom-designed for flower and garden lovers, the workshop is limited to just 20 attendees.
After morning tea, you’ll have the opportunity to practice your new skills in the garden, with practical help and tips. To close off the morning, it’s back to the Bunya Pavillion to update your course workbook and a further chance to review and discuss the pictures you made.
