When the sun sets it doesn’t mean that you need to stop taking photographs. The
Night Time Experience is designed for photographers who understand the
fundamentals of exposure and now want to explore creativity in a different way.
A tripod is a must for night-time photography as we look at different ways you
can use the available light from the street, vehicles or even the stars to
illuminate a scene and create a terrific image that you would want to share.
The workshop is very much reliant on the dry weather as we will usually be
working with long exposures and some aspects, such as star trails, require a
cloudless evening so whilst the agenda for the session isn’t fixed, the
techniques you will learn can be applied to many other forms of low light
photography.
To get the most benefit from this workshop you will need to understand how to
use the manual functions on your camera. If you are unsure, we would recommend
you attend the Switch to Manual session first.
