Ribblehead Viaduct Dark Skies Night Photography Workshops
Capture the famous and iconic structure of Ribblehead viaduct in the certified dark skies of the Yorkshire Dales. Taking a short, easy walk we'll take in several view points while looking at key techniques for stunning astrophotography. As well as keeping our fingers crossed for a starry starry night we'll try and keep an eye on the train timetable for getting a light trail across the viaduct.
Howarth Night Photo Walk
This picturesque village features many famous views and scenes making it a top spot to explore on a night photography walk. With photo opportunities unlike anywhere else, beginners and advanced photographers alike will walk away with some cracking shots!
Malham Dark Skies Night Photography Workshops
This workshop not only captures this ancient landscape at a magical hour but also at a quieter hour of this often overcrowded spot. We'll explore some inspirational night scenes around this famed village and further out looking at the famous Malham cove while sticking to easy, straight forward paths (not climbing up the cove).
Staithes, Golden Hour and Night Photography Workshop
What's better than a night photo walk in the prettiest fishing village in Yorkshire? A night walk preceded by a golden hour walk! The workshop takes in the classic and famous scenes as well as the hidden gems, all under the friendly expert guidance of Rich Bunce.
Knaresborough Night Photo Walk (remembrance)
Knaresborough is a spectacular spot to explore at any time of day, but the photographic opportunities at night allow for some really stand out shots! The route sticks to good paths while taking in some of the famous and not so famous gems of the historic town. We finish with a short, sharp stepped ascent to an iconic view of the viaduct, where the remembrance lights and memorials add another aspect to explore creatively with a camera.
Night Photography in Leeds
With an eclectic mix of the old and new, Leeds is a fascinating place to explore with a camera. The city in the night lights adds further opportunities for some exciting photographs. From stunning compositions of modern tower blocks reflected in the Leeds Liverpool canal to old cobble roads lined with victorian architecture, there's l a bucket load of great photos to captured under expert and friendly guidance within a small group of like minded people.
Night Photography Workshop in York
Maybe the most photogenic city in Yorkshire, the sites and views on offer are certainly unlike anywhere else. From the York Minster to the Shambles everyone walks away with some classic shots and lots of creative (and practical) camera tips.
