Why Tasmania’s East Coast?
Granite boulders painted in bright lichen, turquoise bays, and clean southern light. Bay of Fires excels for sunrise colour and abstract minimalism. Freycinet delivers drama with the Hazards, Sleepy Bay textures, and Wineglass vistas. Skies are dark and February–March favours Milky Way sessions.
Bay of Fires
Binalong Bay, Grants Point, Skeleton Bay. Lichen scenes above the waterline, not tide-dependent. Swell adds energy when present.
Freycinet
Coles Bay foreshore, Sleepy Bay, Bluestone Bay, Friendly Beaches, Wineglass Bay lookout.
Astro Windows
Bortle 1–2 skies. Feb–Mar is prime. Western scenes can include home/street lights for creative contrast.
Connectivity
Surprisingly strong 4G–5G around Coles Bay and access roads. Short black spots in gullies and behind the Hazards.

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."
