David Oliver and Peter Eastway Photography Course

9 - 14 August 2009

Whether amateur or professional, this workshop is for you! Spend time in the field, working hands on with three of Australia’s best known photographers, in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, Hamilton Island.

Our First Ever Convention!

For many years, Philip Andrews and Peter Eastway have been thinking of and planning a photography event for Australia. As publishers of Better Photography and Better Photoshop Techniques magazines, and from their travels around the world, they knew that Australian photographers would love to be part of a uniquely Australian event and, even better, that Australia has the talented speakers to do it. Eventually the dream is for photographers from around the world to come to Australia to be a part of a key event in the photography world's calendar.

At the PMA Photo Show in Sydney at the end of June 2009, Eizo had a special presentation display showing an image (shown here) as a physical print and as an Eizo computer monitor screen. The challenge to visitors was to pick which image was the paper print and which was the Eizo screen.

Naturally Eizo designed the display so you could just reach out and feel the difference - that would be cheating! Instead, everything was carefully tucked away in a special booth.

Monte Fitz Roy is Argentina's most famous mountain, certainly as far as the Patagonian pensinsula is concerned. Although it's been a few years since I visited Patagonia, the photograph has been produced recently for my book 'Away' which I have just published with David Oliver.
