Nikon Australia launches new online school series
Nikon Australia has taken its popular Nikon School online, bringing a variety of photography tutorials and workshops into a post COVID-19 world.
Held via Webex video conference, there's five online events planned for May, with more in the pipeline.
Kicking things off are sessions by 2019 Surf Photo of the Year winner Stu Gibson, landscape editing and perspective tips from photographer Josh Beames, abstract photography with Mieke Boynton, and star trail photography with Heesoo Chung (who shot our April 2020 AP cover), among others.
The workshops last for an hour each and start at $10 a session.
