Learn how to use the proper settings to capture a beautiful sunset.

Beyond just being a natural phenomenon, the setting of the sun symbolizes many things to a variety or people and cultures. The setting of the sun represents the completion of a day's work, so it represents the opportunity to rest. Nothing can be more true of an NT sunset, come along and unwind from your busy week and enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer in the beautiful setting.

    After a little issue finding the photographer it turned into a fun evening, though the main actors (birds) were a bit shy. I did enjoy the company of fellow photographers/enthusiasts and the check in form Gayle on technique and settings.

    Gayle was lovely and very welcoming. The group ranged from people who had never shot with more than their phone camera to others like myself who wanted to get a better understanding of using a camera manually, and all of us walked away having learnt quite a bit!

    This beginners' photography class is perfect for anyone looking to move beyond auto mode and take control of their camera settings. As someone with no prior experience, I found the session incredibly informative and accessible. The instructor explained the various shooting modes and demystified key terms like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. By the end of the class, I felt confident experimenting with manual mode, adjusting settings to achieve the creative effects I envisioned. It?s a fantastic introduction to understanding your camera and building the skills to create intentional, well-composed images. Highly recommended for aspiring photographers!

    Gayle Raymond
    Hi there!
    I have been fascinated by the many facets of photography since I was a kid. It's an incredible art form, isn't it?
    I studied a Media Communications Degree and Bachelor of Education, so I've worked as a photographer in the industry and also as a secondary school media studies teacher (inc dark room and digital photography).
    I am a professional photographer in Darwin, with a wide and varied client base seeking photo coverage of all different kinds of events and purposes.
    You won't believe this, but landscape and bird photography is my go-to hobby still and holding a camera, switching lenses in a hurry to catch that shot, still gives me that buzz!
    See you at the next Meet-up :)

    Gayle Raymond is available for private bookings

    Weddings, portraits, personal brand portraits, events and sports. Maternity and newborns.

    Another perfect night at Gunn Point, me and my mum shared laughter and stories, we were both in awe of the sunset, which looked like a tornado and then a colourful tree which lit up the whole sky, you can never go wrong with wine, a cheese board alongside the people you love on a warm Darwin summers night

    Title or Location: Mangrove boardwalk Casuarina Coastal Reserve Darwin
    The photo was taken in the early morning along the mangrove boardwalk track at the casuarina coastal reserve. The tide was running out and there was a real sense of peacefulness as you could hear the water slowly trickling out among the mangroves. The sun light spreads a gentle glow through the canopy and onto the mangroves with their roots extending out into the creek and finally the light reflects down into the water as it slowly runs out to the ocean. I feel this photo captures the peacef

    After the rain, I decided to take a walk to the small pond behind the function room at Darwin Botanical. It seemed like the water lilies might be in bloom, and I imagined the sweet scent of their flowers, freshened by the rain, drawing in a delicate dragonfly.

    Title or Location: Gunn point, NT
    My dad recently passed away, he was a huge fan of birds and the outdoors. Soon after I took a solo trip out to Gunn Point, I spotted this crow who was very friendly and I followed him around for a long while trying to get a good shot, along the way I found many other photo opportunities. The crow then walked me back to the car and just as I was about to leave, it jumped up on the fence and posed nicely for this photo, I thanked my dad for one last photo opportunity.

    My uncle was in town for a visit from NSW, so myself and my mum and uncle took a trip out to Gunn Point, we walked the beach for hours whilst chatting and looking for sea shells and then marvelled at the sunset in the evening, we decided to get a photo of my uncle and me, the colours were so vivid and the weather was warm, it was a perfect dry season day in Darwin

    I was walking around the rocks at sunset, enjoying the clouds, and thinking I had better get to shelter as that rain burst was heading my way. The sun suddenly highlighted the underside of the rain cloud, and I managed a few shots.I also got rained on very soon afterwards!Canon R6M2 with kit lens 24-105mm.ISO 2000, 24mm, f9.0, 1/1000s.

    The Old Oak Tree, 2025.This is one of my favorite trees. It is situated alone in a huge field on a little farm near where I live. Every time I see it and the little rope swing that hangs from it, it just fills me with a sense of peace and tranquility. I wanted to portray that in this minimalist, high key version of it.
