Night Photography
Would you like to find out about photographing at night?
Interested in shooting the moon and stars?
How about the Aurora Australis?
Have you ever tried your hand at painting with light?
And don't we all love that magical time around sunrise and sunset,
for gorgeous light and stunning land and seascapes?
(To get the most out of this workshop you will need a basic understanding of camera controls
such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance.)
I am offering an usual workshop, which will run over 24 hours (don't worry, that does include time to go and sleep!).
We start in my studio at 1pm, covering all the basics of night shooting - camera settings, gear, shooting on location, planning, etc. After a hearty afternoon tea, at around 4pm we will move out to a nearby location to photograph the sunset and continue shooting into the night, finishing up around 7.30pm. We will work with whatever Mother Nature gives us on the night: it may be the Milky Way, or star trails, or the Aurora if we are a bit lucky. Painting with light is a definite, too.
The next morning we meet on location before dawn and photograph the early morning, moving into sunrise. Once the light loses its magic, we will head to a local cafe for breakfast.
After breakfast it's back to the studio for sessions on processing your files using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. (All night shots really do require post-processing to bring out their best.) We finish up with a 'show and tell' session, where you share your best finished photos with the rest of the group, and then wind up around 1pm.
