Location meet point is the carpark at No. 16th Beach, Rye on the Mornington Peninsula.

$159pp

Throughout the night we chat and learn about how your camera's shutter speed, ISO and aperture work together in relation to capturing starry night long exposures. You will learn how to manually focus your lens to capture awesome astro images. We will discuss composition, adding a human element giving your photos that WOW factor and adjusting your cameras white balance for shooting in different situations (moon vs no moon).                                          

This workshop is a great way, if you've always wanted to learn long exposure astrophotography (stars, learning settings for capturing Aurora) but been cautious or hesitant to go alone at night. Come learn in a small group, hands on workshop.

What you need:
* Camera and a lens that allows you to manual focus.
* Tripod (if you don’t have one, you can borrow a Benro tripod on the night)
* Remote shutter release (optional
* Head torch or torch
* Sturdy shoes

Note:
* If there are some clouds about the workshop will go ahead and we will do some light painting, while watching for some breaks in the sky. We will also add the "human element" into some of our photos, so bring your head torch or torch plus we will look at creating interesting night landscape photos.

* In the event of any cancellation due to poor weather, you can reschedule to a new workshop date.

* If you are unable to attend within 24hrs of the workshop we offer a reschedule to a new workshop date but we must be notified via email or text message.

* General fitness is required, comfortable shoes with grip and a torch or head lamp.

* Your equipment and your personal safety is your responsibility, any injury, damage or loss - Benjamin Eriksson Photography takes no responsibility for.
