Awesome Astro: A practical introduction to night sky photography

Advertisement

Learn how to photograph the night sky with this three-part workshop.

Always wanted to capture the Milky Way but don't know where to start? Or you've tried and the results haven't been amazing?

We've designed this workshop for beginner astro photographers: to take you from zero astro knowledge to being able to capture at least one awesome astro photo to impress friends and family.

Wellington-based astro and landscape photographer Chris McKeown, and supported by Sony Advocate Rebecca McMillan, will guide you through what's required to plan, shoot, and process stunning images of the incredible night sky in Wellington.

We will start with an online introductory tutorial briefing on Sunday 17th August (evening), to discuss settings and camera gear, answer questions and confirm the meetup location for the Thursday evening workshop.

On Thursday 21 August we will meet from 7.30pm on Wellington's South Coast to capture the night sky. (A rain check date will be advised if required, and we have pencilled Friday 22 August). The following evening we will host an online tutorial to demonstrate how to process your images, with time for Q&A.

We also have the opportunity to access Sony cameras for the workshop: please get in touch with the organisers at least two weeks ahead of the event if you would like to borrow gear for this workshop.

This is a ticketed workshop via Sony Scene.
