We are also well within reach of the South Burnett District and its wineries and other attractions or day trips from Rainbow Beach to Fraser Island (K'gari); the Sunshine Coast and its Hinterland is also easily accessible. These other areas can all be visited within a day, but then you can return to the quiet and welcoming hospitality of little old Tin Can Bay - to relax and unwind again. </i></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>So, what other reasons can we give for wanting to come to our little corner of the world? Well, there’s the fishing, the golf, the bowls; oh, and we do have our wild dolphin feeding each morning – the kids just love that, and they can paddle or swim safely in our quiet, shallow, and tranquil waters! However, if it’s the open beaches and rolling surf you are looking for, it’s just a 20-minute drive away at Rainbow Beach.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>There is an ambulance center and 2 doctors' clinics, a Woolworths shopping center as well as an IGA store and other small businesses. A very fairly priced service station and soon to have another. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>On another slant, the photographer or naturalist might fancy taking photographic advantage of the natural flora and fauna of the area. Such as local wildflowers, land and shore birds; in fact, we have many migratory shorebirds that visit annually from faraway lands.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Also, to be considered are the great seascapes - or if you’re keen, opportunities for a great sunrise or sunset. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Your camera, regardless of type or quality, is an invaluable tool and has the potential to not only record the restful and laid-back way of life here but also to show off to the rest of the world just what our little haven and its beautiful surrounds have to offer.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Look me up and I can show you around!</i></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><a href="http://www.tincanbayphotography.info/2023/01/tin-can-bay-another-little-treasure.html">TOP</a></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: red;">or go to</span> <a href="http://www.tincanbayphotography.info/2023/01/reviews-and-appraisals.html">page 4</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>(Reviews and Appraisals)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>fergiesfabfotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04782379814996938084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596863764974385206.post-31680937702539668622023-01-05T13:04:00.021+10:002023-07-25T09:52:03.174+10:00Hi!<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Hi!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">For visitor information, you
will find we have 3 motels, one pub, and 3 caravan parks. There are plenty of eating
places including a nearby Woolies shopping centre and there are also many fully equipped holiday rentals available. There is also a Greyhound
coach pick-up and drop-off service available here twice daily. If you are
coming by boat, we have an extensive and fully serviceable Marina and Ships
Chandlery. You can also hire houseboats from here.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">“What
am I likely to find to photograph at Tin Can Bay?”</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">Tin Can Bay itself is a quiet little coastal
township, with a population of around 2500, and in close proximity to Fraser
Island, Noosa, and Rainbow Beach. Its own attractions include the daily public
feeding or viewing of wild dolphins, at the Barnacles Dolphin Centre and Cafe. The dolphin feeding is from 7am. Tin Can Bay's indigenous flora</span></i></span><i style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"> is mostly seasonal of
course, but some do bloom all year round. There is an amazing abundance of
birdlife, both land and coastal. Many of the coastal bird species are migratory
and come and go from far-off lands. The Mangrove forests, quiet waters, and
tidal flats are ideal roosting areas for many of the varied shorebirds whilst
the flowering gums, banksias, melaleucas, etc., provide food, shelter, and
nesting areas for the many and varied land species.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">For the early riser, spectacular sunrises or sunsets are also
a very special feature here.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">It is all a rather unique experience and one that can
be done without even having to leave town.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">“What
sort of camera do I need?”</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">You certainly do not need any special sort of
camera. My workshops also include help with the photography of mobile phones or tablets. It would also be an asset if the camera allows for some manual or
semi-manual operation. Please refer to your camera’s handbook if unsure. It is
advisable to be properly 'au fait' with your camera apparatus and its workings prior to
the shoot.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">"What can you teach me in just 3 hours?"</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">Depending on the status of your photography
knowledge, if just a novice, you can learn the basics of how to properly read
and utilize the ambient light (IE: outdoor natural light) to your best advantage. Also, some of the rules or
"Tricks of the trade", so to speak, of how to build a stunning
photographic composition. I can also explain the benefits of using the manual
settings on your camera as opposed to continually having your camera set on
auto. These settings include (A) Aperture, (S) Shutter speed, (ISO) ISO
settings, white balance, and manual focusing.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">“What alternative equipment should I bring?”</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">This, of course, is fully dependent on the reason/s why you have chosen to ask for one of my workshops and the question should be
asked at the time of booking. It may or may not involve the inclusion of a
tripod, but it is a good idea to bring it along anyway. If, however, you are
coming from afar and don’t really want to pack it, I do have spares.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">Also, if you have a remote or cable shutter
release, you may want to include that.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">You will need personal protection from
the elements, a hat, insect repellent, sunglasses, etc. Appropriate clothing,
long pants, old shoes, or hiking boots.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">“Is
there wheelchair access available?”</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">Again, depending on the reason for the workshop and
as there might be a lot of walking involved, much of which could be over rough
or uneven terrain, I’d say possibly not. But there can always be a "plan B". That goes for the weather, too!</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">“Do
you do group bookings?”</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">To be honest, since the outbreak of Covid, I no longer do groups; however, I have found that clients do prefer a 1-on-1 basis; simply because more attention can then be given to the individual.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">“How
do I pay?”</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">As I do not have EFTPOS facilities with me, payment
can either be made via direct debit EFT prior to the tour or by cash on the
day. Whereby, a receipt for your payment will be given.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"> </span><b style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">"What time do your
workshops start?</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">There is no absolute set time - I like to leave it
up to the individual as to when they would prefer to get started and it
depends also on what is required on the day. Unless there is a sunrise or
sunset involved, special times will be required for that purpose; however,
because the morning light is best for photographing scenery, I am personally
inclined to get started around 7 am or no later than 8 am. It fills
the morning nicely.</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">The morning curriculum:</span></i></b><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"> There
will be about 1 hour devoted to a discussion on some theory and for me to know
more about you and your photography status, prior to the more practical side of
actually getting out there and taking photos.<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">"What if my session time
extends beyond 3 hours? Will I need to pay more?"</span></i></b></p>
<p class="font8" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="color17"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Certainly not, that is, if your
time extends for just a few minutes but if another hour or so is needed, the extra cost will be negotiable. It is in my interest to give a fully satisfying and
complete service and for any reason you are not fully satisfied, a full refund
will be given.</span></span></i></span><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="font8" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="color17"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></i></span></p><p class="font8" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="color17"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://tincanbayphotography.info/2023/01/frequently-asked-questions.html" target="_blank">TOP</a></span></span></i></span></p><p class="font8" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="color17"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><br /></span></i></span></p><p class="font8" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="color17"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: verdana; padding: 0cm;"><span style="color: red;">or go to </span></span></i></span><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: verdana; padding: 0cm;"><a href="http://tcbimagery.blogspot.com/2023/01/tin-can-bay-images-from-first-light-at.html">page 6</a></span></i></p><br />fergiesfabfotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04782379814996938084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596863764974385206.post-26702266561027710252023-01-05T10:13:00.013+10:002023-07-25T09:41:23.303+10:00Reviews and Appraisals<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #e11c20; font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Cheryl Gett, Tin Can Bay, Queensland, Australia</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">"I had a lovely 3-hour Course with Ken and found it very informative.

SLR in the 'too hard basket' like I had, Ken can help!!"</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red; font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">Pat

help. It was most appreciated. You provided so much information and, yes, there
will be questions. Some things I thought I forgot but when talking to friends
and family about my day I realised I remembered more than I thought. I think
the best thing is, like you said, practice-practice-practice. After a little
while, I might have to contact you and ask you a question or even send you a
copy of a photo or two for your comments. I really enjoyed the workshop. Cheers

thanks for the morning! A couple of my in-camera shots look great so
