When night comes everything changes, what seemed to be uninteresting suddenly turns into something wonderful thanks to the lack of sunlight. That, accompanied by the stars, makes us see the sky with new eyes; we can start to think about new compositions to shoot, including the Moon or the Milky Way in our framing, as well as the different planets and constellations we find in the night sky.

You will learn how to take pictures at night in different light situations, be it with or without Moon (trying to avoid light pollution). This can be achieved with good planning and observation of the scene during the day and finally taking the shots at night.

Who is this workshop for?

The workshop is for people who want to improve their photography skills by taking pictures in extremely low light situations, using full manual mode with long exposure and learning about basic astronomy.

Requirements

  • How to use the camera in manual mode
  • A camera with manual mode, manual focus and 30 second exposure
    • Not sure if you can participate with your camera? Send me the make and model and I’ll find that out for you
  • A wide angle lens (the 18-55 kit lens works fine)
  • A tripod
  • A flashlight (ideally a one with red light)

Language

Currently I am teaching in Spanish only, I am trying to improve my spoken English before teaching in that language.
