MASTERING THE ART OF LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
In my opinion, the milky way and the night sky is one of the most astonishing miracles that can be sighted in our existence. It gives us that feeling of infinite possibilities and leaves us speechless at the question of our existence. Light pollution is a major concern and takes away our view of the milky way and other galaxies. Finding unpolluted skies and dark locations to ensure a view of the milky way is not that easy for everyone, and often many people do not realise that it is possible to see such a wonder. We are offering this workshop, with an introduction to Wide Field Astrophotography for beginners and for intermediate photographers!
This year, it's two workshops in one. Not only will you master wide field astrophotography techniques from beginner to intermediate levels, but you'll also dive into landscape photography compositions and discover the best light conditions to enhance your skills.
