Course Overview

During this exciting and challenging photography session the aim will be to capture a variety of creative Christmas lights in and around Peterborough town centre. It will provide a perfect opportunity to practice some low-light photography and come away with amazing and inspired images of your own!

You will need

• the evening is spent photographing many of the Peterborough City Christmas lights;

• suitable for most types of digital camera but especially; DSLR, Bridge, CSC, Mirrorless & some compact cameras

• we shall establish the ideal camera settings, composition and equipment required

• bring a tripod as this will be essential to ensure crisp, sharp photos

• A camera with fully charged battery(s) - this will be necessary as it’ll be cold and the battery could lose charge

• A ‘kit’ lens (18mm - 55mm) or similar is ideal. However, if you also have a small telephoto lens (up to 200mm) this could also be useful for some images.

• Sufficient space on the memory card - you will be taking lots of photos!

• Lens cleaning cloth/lens pen to remove finger marks, dust, raindrops!?

• Also, adequate warm clothing, gloves, scarf etc.

• as always, this outdoor session will be more enjoyable if the weather is kind to us!

• A small torch - to see when making changes to the camera settings - a phone may suffice
