Sometimes you include the people and sometimes, you get super heros!!!

Do you gaze up at the night sky with wonder? What about looking up at the stars and thinking, how old that light you are seeing is? Maybe you watch as day and night morph into one, and the stars come out to play. This meetup is going to cover off everything you need to know to start capturing amazing single shot astrophotography and a few extra bits of helpful advice. The learnt basics of capturing a single frame will form the building blocks of your astrophotography journey. Think of this meetup as your first step on that journey or for those who have already started, maybe a road sign. Astrophotography looks amazing and packs a real punch, however, you do not need to spend a fortune to partake. Does gear make a difference, the simple answer is yes, but it is not the deciding factor when it comes to astrophotography. This meetup will look at planning your session, camera settings, required equipment. I want this meetup to help you maximise your current gear as your start capturing milky way shots.

    I had known about this location for a long time and always wanted to do a Milky Way shoot there, but I felt uncomfortable going alone at night with my gear. I persuaded the Birmingham Photography Group to join me, and we finally did a shoot at the location. And well... this is the result.I heard that the sails might be back on the windmill this year, so I?ll definitely be doing this shoot again.

As I'm into hiking and waterfall hunting for wild swimming, I just knew that Gatineau Park would have some hidden gems. I was walking deep within the forest and approached near the end of a trail I could hear the sound of water flowing. I continued to walk through some trees and then came across was this wonderful hidden waterfall. Although there was no pool for me to swim it was still a great find and to photogra
