Price includes entry to the museum and Private Gold Pour attendance.
We are pleased to announce our newest photo tour through the Gold-based living museum at Sovereign Hill in the City of Ballarat, just under two hours from Melbourne.
During our three-hour visit, we'll explore the meticulously recreated shops and theatres that capture the height of the Gold Rush era.
You'll have the chance to see the gold diggings and miners' camps.
The photo opportunities are endless.
We have also arranged a private gold pour, where you can witness molten gold being poured into an ingot.
What do I bring, and what level of skill do I need?
Your Camera (Obviously!), batteries, and cards for lots of great photos
.We cater to all skill levels, from novices to master photographers and ages 9 to 99. Just bring your camera and your enthusiasm.
How many people are in the class, and how many teachers?
Unlike many Melbourne Camera Schools, we prefer small groups. We take a small group of up to eight students and two teachers, so each student receives maximum attention.

Why Alwyns Photo School is different.
I believe in showing you how to use YOUR camera.
You brought your camera to take photos not play with buttons and levers!
At Alwyns Photo School, we are making great photography easier.
Please note, as a policy, Alwyns Photo School has NO minimum numbers to run a class. Every student is important and we will not cancel a class due to low numbers.
I have had years of experience working with students from 9 to 99 years. I have been working in Photography for over 30 years and teaching for over 15 years with over 30,000 students in that time.
I have written and organised classes for many companies and Government departments including Victoria Police and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.
My belief is to teach photography classes with "less physics, more photos."

80 reviewsWho am I
My name is Alwyn Hanson, I have been teaching photography for over 30 years in Melbourne. I have worked with and taught over 30,000 people including new users as well as training groups such as Victoria Police, MFB and many Government Departments.
I believe in teaching photography in a simple, logical way rather than boring lectures. My classes are short, practical and complete. Most are three hours long (My experience is longer classes don't always achieve good results)
I teach photography and software based on classes that have run with great success in my previous position as manager of Michaels Media School in the Melbourne CBD.
I am passionate about teaching and want you to use YOUR camera to take great photos.
I can teach you in a class or if you prefer at your home, cafe or local park.
You tell me what you want and I can make it happen.
Why Alwyns Photo School is different.
We believe in working WITH all the special features on the camera,NOT turning them all off and going manual. The camera companies have spent millions in development, so why reinvent the wheel. We can teach YOU how to take great photos on YOUR own digital camera.
Alwyns Photo School, making great photography easier.
