Make the best of the photographic technique during an exploration of Lisbon after sundown.

The night photography, with its specific low light, it is a real technical challenge which opens a possibility to fields that could not be reached during the day (motion effect with low light, moving lights, creative special use of the flash, ...).

You can learn how to use your camera, set the proper exposure, and transform the "enemy" light to an "ally". The lights, the contrasts, and the moving elements allow a completely different approach of the opportunities that photography offer.

The Weekend-Atelier starts in the afternoon when you will learn the basics of photographic technique and the very-important framing and composition, which will take you to an afternoon of practical field-exercises. When the night starts to approach, the scope of the practical exercise changes setting and light, and a moment of night photography and creative techniques will be shown to you.

After such a full day the only thing you need is to charge you batteries and your camera.
