Canterbury Photography Group

Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

The Burning of the Clocks

The Burning of the Clocks

Thursday 21 December
CHURCH STREET, BRIGHTON - 6pm - 2 Hours
Brighton Photography Group
Tobias Slater-Hunt
Burning the Clocks is a unique community event held on the 21st of December, created by Same Sky, that brings the whole city together to mark the shortest day of the year. Local people make their own paper and willow lanterns, using our kits, and after parading through the city, they pass them into a blazing bonfire on Brighton beach, as a token of the year's end. The annual event brings the city together to celebrate the shortest day of the year and provide an antidote to the excesses of Christmas with a different theme every year. This year's theme is Clocks, which will be reflected in the lanterns made by the community for the parade. This theme was inspired by our changing perception of time's passage after the event's successful return last winter.
A fabulous photographic opportunity, and a great chance to hone street photography and low light photography skills.
We will even have the opportunity to support future event by buying a beer!
Wrap up warm!

    I was on holiday on the beautiful little island of Porto Santo, near Madeira, and went for a walk along the golden sandy beach to catch the sunrise. I noticed a man sitting all alone in what seems to be a yoga position, enjoying the morning light. I didn't want to get too close and disturb his solitude, but thought he made an interesting focal point against the sea and dramatic clouds.Panasonic Lumix LX100II 37mm 1/125 sec f/5.0 ISO 200
