What previous workshop participants say

“Fantastic experience. No matter your level of experience Rick doesn’t make you feel like you are being a hinderance and is willing to help with even the most basic of questions/problems and explains in a way that is easy to understand without getting lost in technical terms. The advice given on how to improve your steps, technique and/or style in capturing an image doesn’t second guess anything that you currently do but expands on your current knowledge without trying to reteach and change.”

Meet Your Instructor

Rick Budai — Wild Artistic Photography instructor

Hi, I'm Rick Budai.

Photographer & Workshop Instructor

I've spent years photographing Tasmania's wild landscapes and helping photographers develop the skills and confidence to create images they're proud of.

My teaching style is relaxed, practical and highly personalised — whether it's a workshop, a private lesson, or a multi-day tour, you'll receive individual attention and guidance tailored to where you're at.

I'll help you understand not just the camera settings, but why they work — so you leave with real skills you can use long after the day is done.

Coast Exposed Workshop - Coastal Photography

Coast Exposed Workshop - Coastal Photography

Full Day
Maximum 6 participants

Discover how long-exposure photography can transform moving water, shifting clouds and changing light into atmospheric coastal images. In this practical field workshop, Rick will guide you through choosing shutter speeds, balancing exposure, using filters, composing coastal scenes and working confidently with movement. You’ll learn how different settings can soften waves, reveal patterns in the water and create anything from subtle texture to a beautifully calm, ethereal effect. Designed for photographers with a basic understanding of their camera, this workshop combines clear instruction with time to experiment, ask questions and develop your own creative approach beside Tasmania’s spectacular coast.
