Night Sky Photography Workshops

Welcome to Night Photography!

​

Night Photography is a niche skill. It not only requires lot of patience but also requires a good level of understanding of the equipment and it's use. As such, since it's so dark that the camera doesn't know where to focus. There are multiple lighting techniques which can be used for such situations and camera settings vary as per the technique used. Come and join my workshop and I will teach you all those without any restrictions.
