There will be practical guidance on use of ND filters, exposure control, tripod technique, and camera settings in real coastal conditions.

About The Workshop

The Alibaug–Murud coastline in September can deliver dramatic skies, textured waters, and shifting light that is perfect for long exposure photography. This seascape workshop focuses on slowing down and building strong images through careful framing, timing the tide and wave patterns, and using tools like ND filters and GND techniques to balance sky and sea. Because this is a half-day program, the pace is purposeful. We arrive in time to set up calmly, understand the location, and work through multiple compositions as the light transitions into sunset
