After dinner, another night photography session is available, weather permitting.

Throughout the day, we will discover and capture more spectacular locations towards the national park’s northern area. This drive is like stepping back in time with the ancient geology around the area.

The Flinders Ranges National Park in South Australia is a location I was fortunate and privileged to grow up near, spending many years exploring, camping, and photographing the National Park’s remote corners.
Therefore, this offers the best knowledge to provide a 5-day Wilpena Pound Photography Tour, visiting the best gorges, wildlife, flora and viewpoints surrounded by breathtaking coloured mountains in the area. Photographing at these locations during the golden hour and with clear night skies will improve our desired skills in landscape and night sky photography. Besides, our week-long workshop will demonstrate many different photography styles in landscape photography.
The Flinders Ranges Photo Workshop is a perfect blend of improving your landscape photography skills and spending time with quality people in an iconic far-north area of South Australia. However, we may have multiple chances to capture the Milky Way depending on the weather.
