CMAG and PhotoAccess offered a five-week photography course led by photographer and PhotoAccess tutor Jane Duong.  The eight participants learned about the principles of digital photography and applied these skills during two practical field trips generously hosted by the ACT Parks and Conservation Service at Tidbinbilla and at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.  This selection of images from the field trips provides an insight into both these sites and the beautiful photos the participants and the tutor took during the workshop.

A larger number of the workshop images can be viewed on the screen in the CMAG foyer.
