Astrophotography Workshop

On Saturday 17th December, Robert Harvey BA ARPS EFIAP CEnv CSci MCIWEM ran an astrophotography course exclusively for members of the Devizes Photography Club.

The course was attended by 7 members from the club, who spent the daytime session learning the techniques of how to make stunning images of stars, planets, the moon and the Milky Way, in conjunction with terrestrial landscapes. The course also covered photographing star trails and other astronomical phenomena.

After dark the group went to Salisbury Plain for a practical session, The temperature was sub-zero but the skies were clear and perfect for photographing the stars.

The feedback from the group has been very positive and we will be planning an astrophotography trip soon for club members. CW

Robert is a club member but he is also a professional photographer and author so we were very pleased that he could find time in his busy schedule of photographic tours to run this day for us, if you are interested in any of the photographic tours he runs, details can be found on Robert’s website.
