On the Night Photography workshop you will learn how to get the most out of your digital camera in the golden hours, low-light and at night.

The workshop is aimed at beginner photographers with a compact camera or SLR who are looking for an introduction to night photography. Do you want to:

• Learn to capture movement and create light trails?
• Know what type of photos to capture in low-light?
• Understand when and how to use a tripod?
• Discover helpful night-time equipment and tips?

Then the Night Photography workshop will put you in control of using your camera at night, both for stunning scenic shots and for keeping you safe. You will learn how to:

• Select shutter speeds: learn how to use S / Tv to capture motion at night
• Using M and BULB: understand how to calculate the best exposure for night
• Choose a white balance: use WB creatively and set a custom white balance

The Night Photography workshop has a maximum of four participants to ensure ample 1:1 time and to allow us to move around safely. I have one tripod which is available for borrowing if you don’t already own one. You’ll leave the workshop with an understanding and practical knowledge of:

• How aperture, shutter speed and ISO work together at night
• Important settings for night photography including focusing
• Useful camera and personal equipment to use in low light
• Effects such as silhouettes, zoom bursts, light trails and light painting

You are encouraged to have completed Camera Settings and Explore Exposure to get the most out of this workshop. You’ll also find night photography easier to pick up if you have done Switch to Manual before.
