Night Time Photography Workshop with Steve Bell
Friday 21st February 2020 from 19:00pm to 22:00pm
Castle Howard Estate
Castle Howard, York, YO60 7DA
When the sun sets and the stars come out, our skies are transformed. Once you understand the basics of how your camera operates and the best times to observe, then spectacular images unfold.
So come and spend an evening with Steve Bell at Helmsley Walled Garden and discover how to take great night sky images. There will be a short talk explaining all the technical aspects. Then, after a warm drink, there will be plenty of time to take your own pictures with guidance from Steve.
This event takes place as part of the National Parks Dark Sky Festival 2020 which runs from 14th February to 1st March.
Please note that this event has already taken place on 21/02/2020
