An intermediate-level course focused on photographing the night sky as autumn transitions into winter, with bare trees and longer nights creating striking seasonal compositions. Taking place over two nights, the course is set at Strata Florida in the Cambrian Mountains—an area renowned for its exceptionally low light pollution and astounding dark skies. Join us this autumn for expert instruction from Dafydd Wyn Morgan and the opportunity to capture your own images of the night sky within this beautiful and iconic landscape. Cost for the two nights: £100.
