Dark Skies Photography
Join us as the sun sets for this Dark Skies Photography course and discover why low light and night time is the time to get your camera out, not put it away! Learn the art of low light and night time photography with professional photographer David Broadbent.
We won’t be setting off fireworks at the farm because of the animals but we can show you the techniques for capturing images in all low light situations and you’ll get to grips with slow shutter speeds. In the event of cloudy skies you’ll look at light painting (outlining objects with torches) and discover the dramatic effects of wire wool and sparkler patterns.
In order to attend this course your camera should be capable of an automatic 30 second exposure or a “B” bulb setting. You’ll also need to bring a tripod.
Please contact us if you need to hire a camera or tripod.
