Low Light & Night Photography Course in London

Night Photography Course is a great workshop for everyone who wants to learn how to capture amazing images in the dark.

There is that special time of the day when daylight turns into dusk and then melts into darkness. And it’s on every day!

Come and enjoy the creative opportunities that these few hours bring to us, photographers. You’ll get tons of hands-on practice.

This is 3 hours follow up of our half-day Beginners photography course and full-day Intensive beginners course, highly recommended to everyone wanting to expand their knowledge further.

You will learn everything about photographic gear and the necessary settings for low light and night photography. From capturing stars and the vibrance of colour in a city skyline at twilight, to car light trails and painting with light using led light gadgets.

Learn Night Photography and Start Capturing Perfect Images After Dark

This three-hour intensive workshop is balanced between day and night and usually starts about an hour before sunset.

After a short theoretical introduction, we’ll focus on taking pictures against the sky and creating beautiful silhouettes.

We’ll then experiment with long exposures and even looonger shutter speeds to create light trails. And we’ll have fun using light sources to “paint with light” and create illumination in the dark.

On the Night course you will get:

  • A quick overview of the low light/night photographer’s kit.
  • Refresher of all the different focusing modes: automatic and manual.
  • Learn how to choose the most suitable exposure mode.
  • How to speed up your photography – When? and Why? Manual (M) vs Aperture (A/Av) vs Shutter (S/Tv) priority, and how to use the exposure compensation.
  • Best camera settings for low light and night photography – shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focus and white balance.
  • How to use Bulb mode and a shutter release remote to precisely time your long exposures.
  • Learn techniques for capturing beautifully sunset photos.
  • Never again miss that perfect light – apps to help you predict perfect weather conditions and Golden hour, sunset time, Blue hour.
  • Lenses – how to choose the best glass for the desired creative effect.
  • Art of good photography composition: rule of thirds, filling the frame, symmetry, leading lines and more.
night photography course in London - how to take pictures of fireworks

Our Night & Low Light Photography class is a fantastic workshop for everyone who already knows how to use their cameras in manual mode and wants to take their photography skills to the next level.

This course not only explains the science and nature of night photography but most importantly, you will get lots of hands-on practical exercises during which you will learn how to control and combine all different camera functions creatively.

If you ever wondered how to create car light trails, what are the best setting for sunset pictures, how to photograph a city skyline at twilight, or just paint with light, this course will enhance both your technical and creative skills!

The London Night Photography course is one of our most popular workshops, but because we run it outdoors, it relies heavily on the weather. Please travel light and wear comfortable shoes.

During the workshop we will discuss and, of course, practice, some different aspects and approaches to night and low light photography.

We usually run Night workshops around London South Bank, Westminster and Embankment (meeting by the London Eye or Waterloo station).

It is assumed that those attending will have a basic knowledge of photography and have an understanding of aperture, shutter speeds, ISO, or have already attended our Beginners DSLR or Intensive Beginner courses.

We recommend bringing a flexible wide zoom lens like 16-35mm, 18-55mm and/or a prime lens, like 24mm or 35mm. If you have a range of lenses please email us after making a booking and we will recommend the best lenses for this course.

Tripods are required. But if you don’t have one, just let u know. The hire costs only £5.

 

All DSLR cameras, mirrorless and bridge systems from CanonNikonSonyFujifilmOlympusPanasonicPentax etc are very welcome. Generally, any digital camera that allows manual exposure should be suitable for the London Night Photography workshop.

If you’d like to double-check your camera suitability before making a booking or have questions about the course please call us on 020 8947 8118, or email [email protected]

Hugh PaddenCanon 600D

“I just wanted to say thanks for my night class. I found it the most fun with my camera in a long time. Kat’s tutorial style was very good and I have learned a lot. I am very pleased with my photos from the evening. It is like someone else was in charge of my camera that day! Highy recommended!”

Enda CaseyNikon D7000

“I signed up for the night workshop as I wanted to know a bit more about night/low light photography. After a great evening of snapping I came away with some pictures that I love and would not have been able to do prior to the class. Great fun and super informative workshop. Thanks!”
