FAQs
Is astro really included?
Yes. This workshop is one of the only legally permitted astro workshops inside Noosa NP, approved under QPWS CAP. In November, we focus on the anticentre, Orion, Pleiades and star trails instead of the Milky Way core.
Will we shoot sunrise and sunset as well?
Absolutely — we cover multiple light conditions at Tea Tree Bay, Granite Bay, Dolphin Point, Hell’s Gates and Alexandria Bay.
Do you teach editing in Lightroom or Photoshop?
Yes — 3hr labs cover Lightroom Classic & Photoshop, including stacking, blending and smart masking.
What photography experience is needed?
Intermediate ideal, but beginners are welcome. Small group size ensures personalised help.
Fitness level required?
Walks of 1–6 km with some uneven terrain and scrambling. Moderate fitness recommended.
Weather contingencies?
Cloudy nights = deeper editing labs. Storm seas = dramatic long exposures. Always something to shoot or learn.
Accommodation & transport?
Both are self-booked for flexibility. Recommendations are provided in your pre-departure pack.
Permits & insurance?
All QPWS CAP permits and $20M public liability insurance in place — you’re fully covered.

Testimonials
"Dylan has put a lot of time and effort into this workshop. He is easy to understand and ensures each student gets the time they need to grasp the concepts. I really appreciated that there were only four students—Dylan spent plenty of time with each of us. The follow-up eBooks he created and published are a terrific way to reinforce the weekend and make sure the new techniques and knowledge really stick. Thank you Dylan—I really enjoyed the weekend and can’t wait to see what’s next."
