Join us on an amazing day to photograph **the world's most iconic prehistoric monument, Stonehenge**, at golden hour & sunset! We'll spend several hours on site, making the most of what nature has to offer as the light changes. We'll be shooting from the north and east aspects of Stonehenge, which is the most attractive side and also perfect in winter as the sun sets in a south-westerly direction, thus giving us our best chances of colour in the sky! **Please note:** **Entry into Stonehenge itself isn't included** (as not all participants wish to go in for closer shots). For those wishing to, the entry price is currently around £25, and you can book online through English Heritage (our ETA at Stonehenge is 1:30 PM). Message me if you require more details. Situated on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, the early henge was built around 5,000 years ago & the unique stone circle was erected in the late Neolithic period, \~ 2,500 BC, with final modifications estimated to have been made around 1,500 BC. Stonehenge consists of an outer circle of 30 standing stones called "sarsens", which surround five huge stone arches in a horseshoe shape. There were also two circles made of smaller "bluestones" – one inside the outer circle & one inside the horseshoe – as well as four "station stones" positioned outside the central monument. Don't have a telephoto lens & want to take some close-up pics like the sample shots? We've got you covered, as we'll have multiple camera setups and lenses available to borrow if requested (please let me know when booking). Just make sure you bring a spare blank SD card. **Recommended equipment:** * Walk around/kit lens (eg 18-55mm, 24-70mm, 18-105mm) * Zoom lens – Recommended for close-ups on stones (eg 70-200mm, 70-300mm) * Note – The focal length (full frame equivalent) sample images were taken between 35mm (long exposure shot), 70mm (all of Stonehenge), and 200mm (close-up of the stones). * For those paying the extra for entry, a wide-angle lens is highly recommended. ie 16-35mm, 18-55mm, etc. * Tripod – Recommended. * Shutter trigger (wired (preferred), wireless/phone) – recommended for long exposures above 30 seconds for most cameras. * ND Filters – optional (for any long exposures) **Included:** * Travel to and from central London (from Starbucks, Unit 1A Euston Tower, NW1 3DP), in our comfortable 8-seat vehicle * Photographic tuition * Camera and lens setups to borrow if required (bring a spare, blank SD card) * Battery charging facilities if required (bring your USB or wall plug charger) **Not included:** Food and drink (tearoom & facilities available at Stonehenge on arrival) Entrance within Stonehenge (we'll be photographing from the boundary at sunset as public access within the grounds closes) **Important Note:** Please dress for the weather (*and then bring extra!*). Multiple layers, a hat, and gloves are strongly recommended. Also, bring a waterproof jacket/umbrella just in case, and wear appropriate footwear for walking. Stonehenge is on an exposed open plain with no cover, so bring an extra layer to protect from the wind. DRESS WARM! **Where we'll meet:** We'll meet at Starbucks Coffee, Unit 1A Euston Tower Podium, Regents Place, London NW1 3DP, at 11:00 am & and we'll talk about what to expect on the day and go through previous photos and discuss settings, composition, etc. We'll be leaving Starbucks at 11:20 AM & expect to return to London around 7:00-8:00 PM (depending on traffic, of course). Please make sure you check TFL to arrive at the meeting point on time as we will have to leave exactly at 11:20 am sharp. Unfortunately, refunds will not be given if you are late, hence our meeting time is a full 20 minutes before our departure. Please be sure you can attend before RSVPing yes, as refunds can only be given if your place is taken by another participant. Thank you.
