Why Buderim Falls?

Buderim Falls, set in lush Sunshine Coast rainforest, gives ideal conditions for learning slow-shutter and long-exposure techniques. The shaded canopy, textured rock shelves, and steady flow create the right balance of motion, colour, and contrast for hands-on practice.

Just minutes from Maroochydore and accessible year-round, it’s a focused training ground for beginners and experienced photographers who want confident, repeatable waterfall images.

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."
