Low Light & Night Time Photography Session

This session will deal with taking photographs indoors without flash and outside using just street lighting. We will take a portrait using only candle light and table lamps.

There will be a demonstration on taking great firework and scary Halloween pictures plus instructions on combining flash and low light together. We will also show you how to photograph car lighting trails plus pictures of buildings outside.

Who can attend?

This intensive course is aimed at students who have attended one of our previous beginners photography courses as we there is only a brief re-cap on the basic settings. If you have a good understanding of ISO settings along with the various aperture priority and shutter priority modes the you could attend. Please check with us if you have any concerns before booking.

Many photographers tend to use their camera on the full auto setting and want to learn how to get much better pictures from their new camera by using the other settings.

All the courses start off with the absolute basics and progress, step by step, through to some of the more technical aspects. Each theoretical lesson is followed by a demonstration then a practical session.

At the end of the night photography session in Kibworth the images are put onto a PC for viewing, constructive criticism and there is a short photo editing tutorial.

• Buildings by street light
• Halloween pictures
• Firework Pictures
• Car trail picture

What to look for in good tripod

Ideally a good tripod should be sturdy, tall enough when extended but short when closed for ease of transportation. The sturdiest models tend to be heavy, but if you don't carry one with you it is pointless, so a fairly lightweight option is better. The very best ones are carbon fibre and silly prices.

I personally like the Manfrotto or Giotto models but they are fairly expensive.

If you have a camera store nearby I would go and compare tripods for yourself. A good tripod will last a lifetime whereas the cheaper plastic models may only last a short time. My best advice is ensure you choose one with a metal head, and not plastic, as the first time you over tighten the grips you will probably hear a crack as the internal treads break. The tripod I have is over 30 years old and still going strong. We do have some spares of various shapes and sizes if you need to try before you buy. A good starting price would be something in the region of £50 plus.

Student Testimonials

A very good course as always with good background information. I also enjoyed the company of my fellow candidates. A very worthwhile course. Alison Ellis.

I do struggle a bit with the techy bits so I’ll need to practice a bit more before all this becomes instinctive. I’ve already booked my next course as I’m enjoying them so much. Thank you for your patience.
Kate Evans

Very Enjoyable. I’m not very technically minded but found Glen’s instructions very easy to follow. I’m still discovering new things about my camera and I didn’t feel embarrassed asking questions which might appear obvious to others. Margaret Rose

I learnt more than one thing, which is good, and I’m looking forward to my next course.
David Allen

A well paced course with a good mix of theory and practical. As always Glen inspires you to get out and shoot.
David Orme

I’ve had a great time on the night photography course and learnt loads of different techniques to get more interesting photos. I would recommend it to anyone. Vicky Wells

Great! I got what I hoped I would out of the course. Razan Abujaber

I really enjoyed it. I will definitely need to work on the things I’ve learned. Everything well explained in a clear and concise way. Would definitely try another course. Thanks.
Adam Wenmouth

Very good pace and Glen was prepared to re-cover items which may have been a stumbling block – Like ISO, Compensation and Exposure. Good practical exercises to put theory into practice. Lei Chan

Really enjoyed my day. Thanks for great tuition and I’ve learnt lots of new techniques today. I just need to practise now. Helen Bason

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for the course this past weekend.  I found the training very valuable in confirming that the practices I’ve been following/doing were indeed correct and, of course, learning some new tips and methods for getting better photographs.  I’m definitely going to look to take further courses in the not too distant future. - Andy Nightingale

This course was so much fun. I look forward to the next one. Sara Young
 

Once again Glen has covered all I wanted to know. Now it's up to me to go out and practice. Jane Strachan

A great day of experimentation and real world practical sessions. Excellent. - Charles Goulding.  

Another excellent course. Had a brilliant time. Glen explained just what I needed to know and made everything easy to understand. Thank you very much. Bekki Holmes.

I'm an 18 year old student and I was worried about fitting in with the different age groups but everyone was very friendly and welcoming. This made me feel much more confident about taking photographs and I wasn't afraid to ask for any help. I loved my day and it was definitely worth flying over from Northern Ireland for the course.
Lydia Thomas

Another excellent day and evening. Good company, good food and good instructions.
Thank you .
Dave Burton

Once again a very informative and enjoyable experience where helpful and clear advice is disseminated in a friendly way. Thanks again. Mick Aldridge.

Fantastic Course! All of my questions were answered in a polite manner and I'm a lot happier using my camera now. Thanks Glen. - John Vella.
