What weโre about
Welcome to London Outdoor Photography, Photo walks!
This meetup is for anyone interested in photography. All abilities are welcome and the emphasis will be on sharing our knowledge in a fun and relaxed way, learning as we explore London and beyond.
It makes no difference whether you have the latest expensive camera gear or a camera phone, come along and we'll find plenty of exciting things to photograph.
Our events will take us to some of the most iconic locations where you can find that โpostcard" (or Instagram)ย shot but we will be looking for more than that, your professional guide will encourage you to use your imagination and get creative with your photography. If you are new to photography you will have the opportunity to understand the subject better and improve your picture-taking.
Under UK Photo Tours, we run multi-day tours and workshops, traveling to Englandโs picturesque Lake District, photograph nightscapes in Norfolk, rugged Jurassic Coast in Dorset, and Scotlandโs incredible Isle of Skye and Glencoe for the breathtaking scenery.
Our wildlife workshops venture to some of the most spectacular wildlife locations in the UK, such as witnessing the birth of Atlantic Grey Seal Pups in Norfolk, charismatic Puffins on the Farne Islands, and the Norfolk Snettisham Spectacular, where over 100,000 wading birds take to the air.
We offer a variety of popular day trips during the year, including:
Stonehenge at sunset
Bodiam Castle
Vintage Airshows
Medieval Jousting
...and we offer workshops on macro photography, astrophotography (including moon photography), bubble photography, and water drop photography.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon.

Astrophotography! (mailing list only to register your interest - NOT an event)
West Acton, Princes Gardens, London, GBPlease note: This is a MAILING LIST ONLY, NOT AN EVENT.
This is for people who wish to be contacted when we run Astro events (as per feedback, as Meetup's email communication has been sketchy at best for years).
We'll announce our multi-day Astro tours and occasional single-night events here first, then via the usual Meetup announcement.
The Milky Way season runs from late February to early September each year.
We're going to be holding several astrophotography events during the year, so we're putting together an email list of those people interested so we can contact you directly (as many people miss the Meetup messages & emails) and offer you early access to book places at the events.
We'll photograph the Milky Way at various locations throughout the year, teach you how to take star trails and capture special events such as meteor showers and supermoons.
How it will work:
We'll likely let you know the prospective date(s) a couple of weeks in advance. Two days before the event, we'll update and confirm once we have the short-term weather forecasts. Due to weather conditions, some events may be scheduled or cancelled at short notice. Weather forecasting just isn't that good yet, I'm afraid!
We'll provide the transport to the chosen location(s) up to 2 hours away. To reduce time stuck in London traffic, the meeting point will be at our studio in West Acton, a 3-5 minute walk from West Acton tube station (Central Line) and North Ealing tube station (Piccadilly Line). Street parking is available.
Equipment:
- With a tripod and cable release, anyone can take star trails and meteor shower photos with a standard camera and lens.
- For single-shot Milky Way photos, we recommend lenses with an aperture f/2.8 or lower, with a focal length of 24mm or lower. (Edit: a 35mm f/1.8 is also a great lens if you're able to use post-processing software to stitch photos together)
- Using either the high ISO technique or a star tracker allows "slower" lenses to be used, ie a minimum aperture of f/4 or f/5.6
- As usual, we'll have a few dedicated setups and lenses to borrow between the group โ just bring an extra SD card.
We look forward to exploring the night skies with you!
Note: This listing is not an event in itself (ignore time & date). The ยฃ2 payment will put you on our astrophotography list and allow us to email you announcing upcoming astrophotography events prior to them being published on the Meetup group listing. We've done this as people often miss/ignore Meetup announcement emails.
Kind regards,
Dion
