  • Long-exposure methods for twilight water and early-night skies
  • Composition frameworks that carry from sunset to stars

  • Wide-angle lens (14–24 mm or 16–35 mm)
  • Sturdy tripod · headlamp/torch (red-light preferred)
  • Spare batteries & SD cards · weather-appropriate clothing
  • Shutter release/intervalometer (optional)

FAQs

Do I need astro experience?
No — we build from sunset settings to night step by step with demonstrations and one-on-one checks.
Will we shoot the Milky Way?
The galactic core isn’t visible in December. You’ll learn night techniques (focus, exposure, stacking basics) so you’re set for core season in March.
What if it’s cloudy or windy?
We adapt: long-exposures, light painting, star-focus drills and night-setup walkthroughs so you still leave with new skills and keepers.
Accessibility & group size?
Max 8 participants. Short walks on uneven rock platforms; we choose safe, accessible vantage points and monitor swell/tide.

Testimonials

★★★★★

"Dylan has put a lot of time and effort into this workshop. He is easy to understand and ensures each student gets the time they need to grasp the concepts. I really appreciated that there were only four students—Dylan spent plenty of time with each of us. The follow-up eBooks he created and published are a terrific way to reinforce the weekend and make sure the new techniques and knowledge really stick. Thank you Dylan—I really enjoyed the weekend and can’t wait to see what’s next."
