Christmas Lights & Night Photography Workshop

The Christmas Light & Night Photography Workshop is aimed at clients who already have a working knowledge of Aperture, ISO & Shutter Speed. Capture the Christmas atmosphere.

London is a spectacular city, especially at night and at Christmas it's even prettier. But how do you balance the light between the dark sky and the incredibly bright lights? Can you capture the shoppers as they rush by? How do you get that out of focus/ bokeh effect? Learn to take those wonderful night photos using various settings on our 3 hour Christmas Lights and Night Photography Workshop.

Clients must be past beginner level and have a good working knowledge of Aperture, ISO & Shutter Speed and have a fully manual camera. A sturdy tripod that extends over 140cm (before extending the centre pole) is required for Night Photography. If you do not have one, we can hire them to you for an extra GBP 7 for the night.

The short photography course will last for 3 hours and will be held around the West End. The aim of the workshop is to take our time to practicing various techniques utilising various shutter speeds, apertures and ISO. You don't have to go very far to have a range of subjects.
