A highlight of our Quirindi Canola Photography Workshop 2027.
Hidden among the beautiful farming landscapes near Breeza, NSW, the legendary Superman Barn is one of regional Australia's most distinctive rural photography locations.
Standing proudly against expansive country skies and surrounded by picturesque farmland, this iconic old barn provides an extraordinary setting for landscape photography, particularly during the golden light of late afternoon and sunset.

Unlike a typical roadside photography stop, we have secured the landowner's permission to enter the private property, giving our small group a special opportunity to photograph the Superman Barn from within the grounds.
You'll have dedicated time to explore different viewpoints, experiment with creative compositions and capture the barn as the changing afternoon light transforms the surrounding landscape.
YOUR EXCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:
Authorised access to the private property surrounding the Superman Barn
Dedicated photography time without rushing between locations
Multiple viewpoints and opportunities for creative compositions
Beautiful golden-hour light across the barn and surrounding countryside

This exclusive Superman Barn photography session is a signature highlight of our four-day Quirindi and Merriwa canola photography experience.
ONE ICONIC BARN. ONE UNFORGETTABLE EVENING. ENDLESS CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES.
TWO REMARKABLE REGIONS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY.
Discover Merriwa, Quirindi & the Liverpool Plains, New South Wales
Our four-day canola photography workshop takes you through two of regional NSW's most picturesque agricultural regions, where golden fields, rolling hills, historic farm buildings and expansive country skies create wonderful opportunities for landscape photography.
Beginning in the Merriwa region, we'll explore the beautiful countryside during the spring canola flowering season, searching for striking compositions among the brilliant yellow fields, rustic rural landscapes and quiet country roads.
Our journey also takes us to the Liverpool Plains near Quirindi and Breeza, home to some of Australia's most beautiful agricultural scenery and the legendary Superman Barn.
CHASING THE LIGHT — NOT THE CLOCK
Great landscape photography is all about being in the right place when the light is at its best.
Rather than following a rigid sightseeing itinerary, John Armytage and Craig Williams carefully plan each day's photography around the weather, available light and seasonal conditions.
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY WILL INCLUDE:
Sunrise photography among Merriwa's spectacular golden canola fields
Soft morning light, misty countryside and layered rural landscapes
Exploring country roads, rustic farm buildings and classic Australian scenery
Opportunities to improve composition, exposure and creative camera techniques
Relaxed breaks, image reviews and personalised photography guidance
Carefully selected afternoon photography locations
Golden-hour and sunset photography across the Liverpool Plains
A special private-property photography session at the iconic Superman Barn near Breeza
A RELAXED JOURNEY WITH TIME TO CREATE
With a maximum of eight photographers and two experienced workshop leaders, there's no pressure to rush from one location to the next.
We allow time to explore different viewpoints, experiment with compositions and make the most of changing photographic conditions.
Our itinerary remains flexible to take advantage of the best available light, weather and canola flowering conditions.
From the brilliant yellow fields of Merriwa to the remarkable rural landscapes of Quirindi and the Liverpool Plains, this workshop celebrates the beauty, colour and character of regional Australia.
