Astro Photography Experience (incorporating “painting with light”)

 

Date: 4 December 2021

Duration: 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Meeting: Findhorn

Cost: £30

 

Overview

The Astro Photography Experience Workshop offers an excellent opportunity to learn how to photograph the night skies and capture stars, planets and the Milky Way.

Find out when the best times and locations are, and how to set the camera to avoid (or create) star trails. Also, learn how to produce a photograph, which contains the night sky along with highlighted elements in the landscape (painting with light)

 

Equipment

  • a camera, which allows you to shoot in ‘manual’ with control over the ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture.
  • ideally a ‘fast lens’ (i.e  wide aperture of f2.8 or greater).
  • a tripod
  • ability to shoot in RAW (optional)
  • a torch (optional but useful for seeing the camera to set and for painting with light)

If you are unsure if your equipment is suitable, please get in touch.

 

Optional

  • software for processing RAW

As astro photography is working with very low light levels, it can be beneficial to shoot in RAW, as it contains greater potential to extract greater detail and handle noise more efficiently

 

Booking

Pre-Booking is required as place numbers are limited. Early booking is recommended.

As this event relies on clear skies, there is the possibility it may require to be cancelled at short notice.
