Intro to Astro Photography

Intro to Astro Photography

Saturday 21 June
Herron - 6:30pm - 2 Hours
Craig Duncan
Do you gaze up at the night sky with wonder? What about looking up at the stars and thinking, how old that light you are seeing is? Maybe you watch as day and night morph into one, and the stars come out to play. This meetup is going to cover off everything you need to know to start capturing amazing single shot astrophotography and a few extra bits of helpful advice. The learnt basics of capturing a single frame will form the building blocks of your astrophotography journey. Think of this meetup as your first step on that journey or for those who have already started, maybe a road sign. Astrophotography looks amazing and packs a real punch, however, you do not need to spend a fortune to partake. Does gear make a difference, the simple answer is yes, but it is not the deciding factor when it comes to astrophotography. This meetup will look at planning your session, camera settings, required equipment. I want this meetup to help you maximise your current gear as your start capturing milky way shots.

    Once again, a wonderful workshop led by Craig Duncan. Craig is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and more than happy to share any information he can. As someone who is still transitioning from auto to manual camera settings, I found Craig's instruction to be clear and easy to put into practice. If, at any point throughout the workshop I had further questions, Craig was happy to answer them.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this event. It was great to get some instruction and advice from Chris, and no question or random stop was too much. As someone who regularly uses her camera but always resorts to auto, it was great to step out of my comfort zone and use the manual setting. Chris explained how changing the aperture will change the focus, and the ISO changes the lighting. I'm happy to say I have some lovely photos from my first Mandurah Photography Group event.
