ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
WORKSHOPS AND TUITION FOR BEGINNERS
Join me for night of Astrophotography
Do you have a camera and would love to take night sky photographs but don’t know where to start? Are you planning a visit to the Wairarapa and want to make the most of the stunning night sky? Why not book an introduction to Astrophotography, with an experienced guide, and award-winning local Photographer Sharisse Eberlein.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The Wairarapa is fortunate enough to have some of the darkest sky in new Zealand, all within an easy drive of our capital city Wellington.
I offer a nomadic Astrophotography tuition service, with the convenience of coming to you. I will teach you about night sky photography from the comfort of where you are staying in the Wairarapa. If you are planning a weekend away, look for accommodation that will allow for some amazing night sky photography to really make to most of it.
During these workshops, I will introduce you to the basic principles of nightscape photography after which we will head outside on location. We will then put our learning into practice, with the aim of capturing the Milkyway, with me on hand to help you out.
To make sure you get the best out of your evening, these are small groups with a maximum of 6 participants.
$75 per person per hour, with a minimum charge of $300 per hour
Gift vouchers are available.
(Travel is within a 20k of Featherston – for areas outside of this, please contact me for pricing)
If you have any questions at all, or would like advice on where to stay, please do get in touch! info@sharisseeberlein.co.nz or 021 886207
WHAT TO BRING
- Camera – to get the most out the experience it is recommended that your camera allows for manual settings of aperture, shutter speed and ISO, with ISO capable of 3200 or 6400
- Your widest angle lens or zoom (eg 24-70, 16 to 35mm)
- A stable tripod
- A remote shutter release or the ability to put your camera onto self timer mode
- Empty memory cards
- Spare/fully charged camera batteries
- Head torch
- Warm clothing and sturdy footwear
To get the most value from the workshop, please be familiar with how to change the manual settings on your camera. You don’t need to know the whys – I can help with that, just how. The workshop focuses on how to use your camera settings not what type of camera you have, as all cameras vary slightly on where the settings are.
