Macro & Textures Photography Workshop

with Matt Krumins Photography

SEE WHAT FEW OTHERS DO

In every part of nature tiny little details exist that most people never stop to look at. In this workshop we explore the macro life and textures that makes up the beautiful rainforest in the valleys of Mount Macedon. Working on settings, lighting and more importantly identifying the tiny details that can make a special image this workshop will have you walking around with a whole new appreciation for nature and an increased understanding of how to translate it into a photograph.

MASTER SETTINGS

Discover the settings you need to achieve incredibly details shots. You don't have to be experienced with your settings for this workshop as we recap the basics and move up from there.

EXPLORE LIGHTING

Understand the different possibilities when working with natural light, constant LED panels as well as speed lights. Controlling light is the key to photography.

FIND THE DETAILS

Every object you walk past is filled with tiny details we hardly ever stop to appreciate. Whether it's true tiny macro or enormous wide scenes with intricate detail this workshop will have you discovering those little details in a slow paced, relaxed and inquisitive environment.

WORKSHOP DETAILS

Small groups = More Personalisation.

8am- approx. 3pm (BBQ lunch included)

Small groups to keep things personal

Includes basic BBQ lunch and loan lighting equipment.

Meet at Top of the Ranges Cafe

ALL BRANDS ALL MODELS

Do you want a personalised approach specific to your camera? You’ve found it. With years of experience and thousands of workshop participants you’d be hard pressed to find a camera brand or model that I don’t know my way around.

WORKSHOP PLAN

1. MEET AT MT MACEDON

There isn't much phone reception where we are going so we meet at 8am at Top of the Ranges Cafe at the peak of Mt Macedon. After a short explore around the summit we travel as a convoy to Sanatorium Lake.

2. MACRO THEORY SESSION

Yes, theory sounds boring but not on this workshop. We start from the basics and discuss the equipment, settings and lighting techniques used to capture the tiny details surrounding us.

3. SHOOTING

It's now time to put it into action around Sanatorium Lake, scouting out fungi, textures and small details to practice our macro skills.

4.LUNCH

A basic BBQ lunch is provided down in by the carpark. There is access to bathrooms here and an opportunity to re-fill water bottles. If you prefer you can bring a packed lunch.

5. PINE FORREST

After lunch we kick it up a gear by incorporating speed lights into our textures using wide angle and macro lenses. This gives us an opportunity to capture incredible scenes in the old pine forest.

6. SUPPORT

Following our workshop you will be invited to join our exclusive 'Matt's Mob' Facebook support group. This is probably the friendliest photography group on the internet with hundreds of like-minded people all wanting to keep the fun in photography.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

CAMERA

With a DSLR camera the macro capability comes from the lens rather than the camera however if you are using a ‘point and shoot’ camera then please ensure it has a macro mode built in. You will also need access to some more manual settings, specifically Aperture Priority mode. If you’re not sure whether your camera is capable of the above, shoot me an email on info@mattkruminsphotography.com.au

LENSES

If you’re using a DSLR camera I highly recommend having a macro lens for this workshop or at the very least a general lens that has macro capability (looks like a little flower symbol and will say ‘macro’). If you’re unsure please get in touch with me on info@mattkruminsphotography.com.au

Please also bring a general zoom or wide angle lens for the pine forest after lunch.

TRIPOD & ACCESSORIES

Tripods are essential for this workshop as we are dealing with very tiny subjects and off-camera lighting. A loan tripod can be arranged, please get in touch the day before your workshop on 0402812805.

If you have a small torch, off-camera flash or other lighting tools please feel free to bring these along.

PERSONAL

CLOTHING: It is cold in Mount Macedon… not just in winter. Bring lots of layers and some waterproofs just in case. It is a different weather system to Melbourne so never trust the forecast. You will also want to have shoes with good grip that are supportive for unsealed tracks. I will provide kneepads for comfort.

FOOD: A basic BBQ lunch with water, tea and coffee is provided however please ensure you bring your own snacks if you’re a snacker. If you have dietary requirements please consider brining a packed lunch (fridge available if needed).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT EXPERIENCE LEVEL DO I NEED TO BE?

This workshop is about observing the small stuff and experimenting with light. As we have a small group, there is plenty of one-on-one attention and so this workshop is perfect for beginners through to advanced.

WHAT IS THE WET WEATHER PLAN?

Even when the weather is sunny in Melbourne, Mt Macedon can be susceptible to drizzle. If the weather is looking grim in the week leading up to the workshop we will postpone the course and issue a voucher to book again at your convenience. If we are expecting slight drizzle the workshop will still go ahead but I would encourage you to being wet weather attire.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Your Macedon Macro & Textures photography workshop is limited to a very small group giving you plenty of one-on-one instruction as well as personal attention relevant to your camera brand and model.

I will provide access to specialised lighting tools so don’t stress if you don’t have any off-camera lighting.

A basic BBQ lunch will also be provided.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?

"Matts workshop was a gift from my husband. We travel alot and he knew I absolutely love photography bur never learnt how to use my amazing camera to its full potential! Matts workshop varied in skill yet he gave enough one on one coaching for everyone to be on the same page. I feel like as a noob in photography i was able to grasp the terminology and a way better understanding of my camera and what I can do to make my shots even better. Matt's eye for photography is amazing. He is very creative, artistic and a great teacher. Thanks for all your patience I feel I've taken alot from the course. I look forward in using the tools i developed as i travel the world this year. Highly recommend Matt's courses I'll definatly be back. Thanks Matt you've inspired me!"

I recently attended an incredible photography workshop with Matt and from the very first moment, the energy was upbeat, welcoming, and inspiring. Matt is not only an expert photographer but also fantastic teacher who genuinely cared about helping everyone grow, no matter their skill level. Matt broke down complex techniques into easy-to-understand concepts, I felt supported every step of the way.

I walked away with so much new knowledge, but also a newfound confidence in my own abilities. The whole workshop was not only educational but also a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their photography skills to the next level while having a great time doing it!

I did the beginners photography at the Melbourne Zoo on the 2 of November and I highly recommend it Matt had so much information and techniques of photography in general. Matt was super helpful too.

I highly recommend

Matt - thanks again for another great workshop (Travel and Street).

For anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and easy to understand workshop, I highly recommend Matt's workshops. His ability to take technical concepts and break it down to something easy to understand (and actually remember) is the real value-add. This is my second workshop and definitely won't be my last!

Bernadette Shanahan

I did the beginners course at the Melbourne Zoo today and it was fantastic. Matt is super engaging and makes complicated topics easy to understand for beginners. There were no egos or techy-babble. I feel much more comfortable with my new camera and am looking forward to taking it on my holiday. I learned so much more in 3 hours than I ever did watching You Tube tutorials. Thanks Matt!

Rosemary Scott

Fantastic fungi macro workshop with easy to follow steps, gradually building up the technical information. Small group size meant there was plenty of time for regular check ins and info could be pitched to each person’s experience, understanding and interests.

Kirsten Morton

I highly recommend Matt's Seascape Workshop. Matt was very knowledgeable about my camera system (Olympus) and happy to answer my questions about everything from camera gear to processing. The small group size meant that Matt could cater to all our needs and skill levels. And best of all it was a really fun day that has me itching to get out shooting more seascapes!!

I first attended Matt's Street photography course way, way, wayyyyy back in 2017, since then life got busy. I recently retired, if you can call it that and remembering how much I enjoyed Matt's course I undertook a few of his pre-recorded online courses, which were also nothing short of excellent.

Recently I booked a face to face session with Matt as I was stuck as to what to do next with my (very old, think prehistoric) camera kit!

You can read all the other reviews here, buy what strikes me about Matt is his incredible passion for photography and how important it is to him for others to really experience that.

Moreover, I was surprised after booking one of his pre-recorded courses that he insisted on refunding me the cost because "it was out of date". Honestly, it was slightly out of date at worst, so much so it made no difference! Than again, shortly after our recent one on one session, much to my surprise he rang me as he wanted to share something he had since found out with me.

This from a guy who has so many commitments.

I also must mention his referral to Nigel at Camera House in Croydon helped me no end, and saved me a few dollars as well!

I can't recommend MKP highly enough!

... and because you asked, courses I've done with Matt:
Travel & Street, Advanced Wildlife, Melbourne by Night, various online courses!

On my bucket list: Lightroom, Speedlight at a minimum!

Matt’s teaching style is well paced and thorough. He takes the time to explain everything well to ensure we understand concepts before moving on. Matt gives us workshop notes and also a recording of zoom sessions so that we can review the sessions as many times as we want. Matt’s groups are small so we get individualised help where needed.

Workshops I’ve done include Master Your Speedlight, Advanced Wildlife and Beginners Lightroom Classic. There is always something new to learn!

Tony Bartel

Matt is a great teacher. He explains concepts clearly and in everyday language. His workshops are also fun. Highly recommended.

Heather Sherwell

Matt's marvellous Melbourne Zoo Workshop for beginners was amazing. The capped, small group size is ideal for learning. Matt displays a passion for sharing his extensive knowledge of photography. He has an engaging approach to teach the basic skills required to use a range of cameras to achieve impressive results in just three hours. I highly recommend this workshop. I have already signed up for another workshop. I am looking forward to progressing my photography skills to the next level with Matt's expert tutelage.

Leeza Wishart

Matt’s Advanced wildlife photography workshop was fantastic. The small group size meant we all had the opportunity to get help and support during the day. We also received great notes for reference later if there’s anything we need a refresher on.
Matt’s workshop has made me think differently about my composition and what exactly I’m trying to achieve.

Janelle Woods

1670914908

I did the Advanced Wildlife Photography workshop and it exceeded my expectations. A great mix of theory and practice and a great dose of humour. The small group size meant we had plenty of opportunities to get our questions answered. Matt is a fantastic photography teacher - practical, engaging, and easy to understand. I cannot recommend his workshops highly enough. If you've been thinking of doing a workshop, stop thinking and just book it. You won't be disappointed.

Matt’s Night Photography workshop was fantastic! Learning how to take night photos was wonderful but it was how he helped me see what to put in or leave out of my framing that took my images for ok to stunning!! I have already booked to do another of Matt’s workshops and I can’t wait to see what I will learn this time. I highly recommend Matt and his workshops!!

Jan Wong

1669543419

Matt's Beginner Wildlife Workshop at Melb Zoo was great! I went into it knowing basically nothing about my camera and photography and Matt was able to give us some awesome tips/tricks, as well as a run down of the basics so that we could get our heads around how to start to take more meaningful and beautiful photos :) Matt was super awesome and passionate about sharing his knowledge. Not to mention his analogies were great at dumbing down the theory for me to understand! Thanks for a great day at the zoo Matt - 5 stars and would highly recommend to others wanting to learn about photography!

Leanne Zannoni

1665308886

What a wonderful way to learn about your camera and visit the Zoo. Matt’s way of explaining how all aspects of your camera works is just exceptional. You could ask as many questions and never felt judged. I would recommend this class to any age just amazing. I’m looking forward to many more classes with Matt. Thank you

Have just completed the Macro course run by Matt (May 2022). A great day with lots of learning, handouts and small information cards to keep in your camera bag. Matt had lots of ideas of how to photogragh fungi and had enough equipment eg different lighting that we could all try out. A really knowledge teacher with a lovely friendly style. He cooks a mean bbq lunch for everyone - thanks again Matt for a very successful day.

I did Matt's Night Course in the city on Feb 19, 2022. I found Matt very professional and extremely knowledgeble about all the different cameras everyone had. The course was a good range of skills for those with little or some knowledge. Matt continually checked on us all to make sure we were over the current skill he was showing us. Great night and well worth the dollars.

Matt is not only an expert photographer but also fantastic teachers who genuinely cared about helping everyone grow, no matter their skill level.

Matt's street photography workshop was great. Small group so you got to ask lots of questions and learn a lot. Matt is really friendly and helpful for people of all experience levels. I'd highly recommend and will quite possibly do another of his workshops in the future.

If you are a passionate photographer and would like to learn more about photography then Matt Krumins photography workshops are a must for you. I had the pleasure of being part of Matt’s Night Photography workshop last Saturday evening. Wow! What a wonderful night it was. I learnt so much about my camera and night photography that it has blown my mind. Many thanks Matt. You are great teacher. I am looking forward to joining many more workshop groups in the coming months.

I did the beginners course at the Melbourne Zoo last week and absolutely loved it! Matt was very helpful in explaining how to use certain functions on your camera in a way that was easy to understand. I've done workshops before and left totally zapped and couldn't remember a thing! This course is so worth it. I'm looking forward to attending another one soon. ☺️

I spent a few hours with Matt going over how to use Program, Aperture and Shutter modes; histogram and how to read it; focus options on camera; generally getting to know my camera and functions better. He’s a great teacher - listening skills, reflective comment, manages expectations of what can be achieved in a session, summarises what we’ve covered. Learnt a lot and appreciated him taking notes which he forwarded post session. Hard to find a photographer with such proficiency in both the technical as well as teaching ability.

Making Sense of the 'P' :)What an amazing day. Matt was sensational! He explained everything clearly and made the processess relatable. He introduced us to the 'P' on our cameras and explained away the 'scary' and uncertainty. I found it so educational and had many 'ah ha' moments. Thank you Matt, a fun morning followed by lots of experimenting in the afternoon as you can see by all the attached photos :)

Chris & Jess Hall

1723855851

This was not only a fun day at the zoo but Matt introduced the foundations of photography without it being overwhelming. He gave clear, good examples and explanations and there was no expectation that you knew anything prior. I am now confident that I can use my camera and I know the important features I can use to get the best from my photos. Keen to keep building on my skills. Thanks so much Matt!

I recently did a one on one course with Matt to get an understanding of how to setup the camera for underwater shots. The lesson was informative and at a level I could understand. Having now put it into practice it has made a vast improvement on my shots. Would throughly recommend Matts course.2/3/24I just completed the Travel and Street workshop with Matt and found it very enjoyable. The content was explained in an easy to understand manner and it has given me a new perspective of taking photos. Would highly recommended doing this workshop19/7/24I have just completed the portrait and lighting workshop with Matt and again it has been another exceptional workshop. Matt excels in explaining techniques which are easy to understand. The model CJ is a delight to work with and makes you feel at ease. If you are looking to learn how to make the best use of lightning I would certainly recommend the workshop.

I joined a beginners photography course with Matt at the Melbourne Zoo Sunday, even though a bit chilly and cold it was a terrific three hours. I was a little tentative being a beginner.,however Matt soon dispelled any nerves.I was impressed by his attention to not only the group but each individual.His explanations and instructions were clear and he certainly set me up with a greater understanding of the basics of my camera.His easygoing nature established a wonderful rapport with the group. It was fun! I look forward to working with him in another workshop, .I highly recommend them.

Some great prspectives to work with in my travels. I defineltly recommend joining one of Matt's workshops. I will when i can align to my brief visits to Melb. NigelH

Leanne Cochrane

1719133309

Cannot recommend this enough! For someone who doesn’t have an overly expensive camera (still waiting to see if I can take decent photos before buying one) this was brilliant. Matt knows about all cameras and patiently walked me through any changes with the settings to get the best shots. The street photography course has taught me so much, not just about the features on my camera, but also how to frame a shot smarter (something that normally results in me deleting most photos after I take them…)

Melina Kelsey

1719097670

I attended Matt's Adv Wildlife Workshop at Healesville Sanctuary yesterday. The day was well planned with mixing up theory with practice and refining my skills. Matt is patient and knowledgeable, and was able to help me with settings on my camera and teaching me the why rather than a recipe to follow. I feel a lot more confident with taking photos of wildlife and I had a most enjoyable day walking around the sanctuary in a small group. I thoroughly recommend Matt and attending one of his workshops , you won't be disappointed!!

David Lucas

1719045176

I've done a few of Matt's workshops - Melbourne by Night, Travel and Street, and Advanced Wildlife. Matt is a great guy and a natural teacher, and also makes it a long of fun. There's no techno-babble, just plain English that's good for all skill levels, whether you're a beginner or you have some experience and want to brush up. These workshops are small groups so everyone gets all the help they need, and he also knows about all the various camera brands and can help everyone with settings. 10/10 highly recommended.

Tracy Rosengarten

1719025857

I cannot recommend Matt Krummins Bright Bootcamp highly enough. Each day is filled to the brim with learning opportunities. Not a minute is wasted. On the first day you are ask what your goals are and everything mentioned on that day is covered at some stage during that week. His knowledge is second to none, and his humour and patience makes the experience even more fun. There is never a dull moment but he is also 100% dedicated to helping you learn.The places we were taken to for our photos were varied and beautiful and the editing sessions, both during and after the boot camp is finished, really topped it off.Thanks Matt for the fantastic experience

Bright Bootcamp this year was the most amazing experiences for me. Matt is the greatest teacher ever! The whole week was so busy. Not a minute was wasted. Matt is very attentive, always in a good mood, patient. He knows how to explain complex things in simple language. The Bootcamp was not only useful and educational, but also fun and adventure.

Attended Matt Krumins Photography Bootcamp conducted in and around Bright, Victoria, autumn 2024. As a beginner to intermediate photographer and an older, retired person passionate about photography, I wondered at my ability to ‘keep up’. I need not have had misgivings. The pace suited all ages and most abilities. Matt is a patient, knowledgeable teacher who ensures all participants understand their equipment, the appropriate settings and achieve ‘the shot’. The combination of theory and practice, photography tips and tricks is key to understanding what to do and why we do it. I achieved so many new skills on this extended workshop e.g. Astro, hand held macro with lighting that I previously struggled with. Thank you Matt. This ‘Bootcamp’ is highly recommended.

Kerry Jennings

1715244544

Bright Bootcamp,I attended the most wonderful week in Bright and surrounding areas, Matt is the best teacher, understands all camera brands, patient and gives the best guidance to get that perfect landscape shot, booklets and cards full of valuable tips are also given to each attendee, Matt took us to the most amazing places to get those wonderful shots , nature, fresh air and the quality of the whole week was a major highlight, highly recommended.

Matt's beginners workshop at the Melbourne Zoo was perfect for my husband and I. Having not picked up a camera in over 4 years, we were a bit rusty! Matt did not overwhelm us with information. We walked away with an understanding about how to improve out photographs and excited to continue our photographic journey. Matt is a professional photographer with great knowledge but he was patient with our basic questions and offered helpful advice and instruction. He is easy to understand, fun and informative. We will definitely be booking some of his other workshops. Highly recommended.

I completed the Travel/Street Photography workshop today and Matt explained everything in a simplified manner that made it stick. Lots of opportunities for asking questions and getting help along the way with such a small class size. The workshop covered a lot and took my skills to another level. Looking forward to completing more workshops with Matt. Thanks for a great afternoon.

I have for 37 years been teaching, tutoring, lecturing and training leadership and cultural management. I share this only because while I'd like to think I am a good teacher what I know for sure is that I can recognise one. And Matt is a great teacher.Having been a happy snapper for the last 20 years I came away from yesterday's Beginners Zoo Workshop with five practical and easy to apply learnings. And perhaps the greatest recommendation I can give is that this is the 2nd thing I am doing since attending the workshop, the first thing I did was to book a spot on the April Travel and Street Workshop.Thanks Matt, see you in April.

I was a newbie to photography and barely knew how to use my camera, but Matt was so patient and knowledgeable about my specific brand. Also was able to cater the experience to assist me with my minimal knowledge whilst others did more technical things. Had so much fun and would recommend to anyone interested in photography!
