Astroscape Photography - Lake Clifton

Astroscape describes a genre of photography which has the stars in the shot with something as foreground interest. It is what most of us think Astro should be but to a purist Astro photography is only deep space.

We are heading to Lake Clifton which is a very popular spot for photographers but hopefully we won't have to much company I have lowered the group size so that we have more room to move around. This session is longer than our normal session so that we can get set up before dark. I'll bring some flasks for hot drinks at the half way point.

We welcome all cameras although some cameras are better than others for astro so if you have any doubts please get in touch with me before you book. You will ideally need a wide angle 'fast' lens for astro. This means a lens this can let a lot of light in to the sensor with a wide aperture of between F 1:2 - F3:5 or F4 although this is getting a bit 'slow'. Our meetups start with a brief of how to set the camera for the topic. They are fun and informative with likeminded people and the professional photographer on hand to assist throughout the session.

A minimum of 3 people are required for this session to go ahead. **I will also be running a macro session in the area in the afternoon so if you want to book on both please contact me for a joint price by emailing me at info@CTLPhototours.com**
