Night Photography Workshop

Sydney Photographic Workshops offers a night photography course in the vibrant Greater Sydney area of NSW, Australia. This course takes place on various Thursday or Friday nights from 6pm to 9pm during non-daylight saving time and from 7pm to 10pm during daylight saving.

As the city lights come on, you will learn creative techniques to help you capture postcard-quality images in this fun, inspirational, and eye-opening experience. The course begins with a harbor-side brief and introduction from a working pro photographer. As night falls, you will explore the bright lights of the amazing Sydney Harbour and its surrounds, including the moving ferry lights on the harbor, the neon lights of the central business district, and the moody and character-filled streets of The Rocks.

During the course, you will learn how to expose for mood, capture light blur trails, zooming and light painting techniques, creative portraits at night, and much more. The course is suitable for both beginners looking for a fun and exciting introduction to photography and enthusiasts looking to improve their technique. All you need is a Digital SLR or Mirrorless camera with full manual controls, a sturdy tripod, and lots of memory space.

This workshop is held on location around the Sydney Harbour foreshore, meeting at the Opera House. The course will cover topics such as shooting neon signs & fireworks, night landscapes, night portraits, long exposure techniques, using movement, equipment, safety, camera care & security, working with available light, composition, working with abstracts, thinking outside the square, white balance techniques, and creative light painting techniques.
