Practising in Hamilton
Getting started with digital photography in Hamilton
Lake Rotoroa is the second stop: a flat loop path, ducks and swans as your first moving subjects, families for practising people pictures, and the sunset over the water for your first golden-hour exercise. The riverside path through the city gives you reflections, bridges and, in winter, fog.
You do not need a car or expensive gear. The assignments reward ordinary places seen carefully: a mural on Victoria Street, a paddock on the edge of town at dusk, the Saturday market. Upload what you make and your tutor will tell you what is working. Hamilton's inland light is kinder to beginners than coastal glare, and the fog season teaches patience early.

What Our Students Say
“I found the course very informative and really enjoyed how I could do each module at my own pace. Deb was very responsive and provided valuable and encouraging feedback. I especially liked how detailed the Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom modules were and the video resources. The course has definitely given me a solid foundation to build upon and I realise I am heading in the right direction with photography.”
