Let's shoot the moon! Shard edition! (super telephoto photography)

Join us for this rare photographic workshop to capture The Shard and the full moon together!

Clear skies are forecasted for tonight!

Been to this event previously? DM me for a discounted price.

We'll provide expert knowledge and practical help to get correctly exposed images, plus how you can edit them afterwards.

Plus, we'll be lucky enough to have multiple attempts at getting the shot! (if we're quick, that is)

𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮❜𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧:
• Settings and technique
• How to process your photos in standard software (eg Lightroom)
• Advanced software options to increase image quality
• Hands-on experience with super telephoto photography

𝐘𝐨𝐮❜𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝:

1. A minimum focal length of 300mm, but preferably 500mm (full frame equivalent). If you are full frame with a 200-500mm, 150-600mm, or have a cropped-sensor camera with 300mm+, those are ideal.
2. A tripod (preferably sturdy)
3. A wired/remote trigger (preferred) to minimise camera shake or be able to set a 5-10 second shutter delay on your camera.
4. To be able to turn off autofocus on your camera/lens.

Regarding focal length. The above shot was at 700mm, but not cropped in at all. If your camera has ~20MP or greater, you should be able to crop in with ~300mm to get a similar shot. I'll have some equipment to share to help those who need it. Please ask if required before booking.

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: (please request when booking)
1 x Nikon 1.4x teleconverter (F mount)
1 x Nikon 2.0x teleconverter (F mount)
1 x Canon 1.4 teleconverter (EF mount)
1 x Canon 100-400mm lens (EF mount)
Note: Teleconverters do not work with all lenses. Please check Google beforehand to avoid disappointment.

𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: Clear skies can be difficult to predict, but this workshop date is not subject to change. The workshop will be confirmed as going ahead on the morning of the event. Our criteria will be <30-40% cloud cover as forecasted by the Clear Outside app for our location. Should the weather change at the last minute and any participants are unable to take shots, they will be able to attend a future Let's Shoot the Moon! (non-Shard) workshop for free to obtain moon images.

𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
Central London location. Full details will be provided a few days before the event.

Note: This event is combined with 3 other photography Meetup groups that I run, so I'll update RSVP numbers accordingly (ie myself +3 will mean 3 members from other groups attending).

We look forward to seeing you there!
