Vince van Gogh said “I often think that the night is more alive and more richly coloured than the day.” As the night falls a whole new group of subjects comes to life.
The night photography group is an outing based group for anyone who would like to take photographs when the sun goes down and the lights come on. Our aim is to explore city lights, bridges, piers, moving lights, fireworks, starry skies, and any other topics of interest to the group.
Most outings will commence at dusk and be locally based. Some of our outings may take us further afield to capture starry skies or to explore the lights of other cities.
As well as night photography, the group may explore daytime long exposure photography using neutral density filters or panning techniques.
