The night sky has captivated people since time immemorial. But what exactly is it that makes astrophotography so fascinating? Is it the celestial objects themselves, the experience of being under the open sky, or perhaps the technology that makes the invisible visible? Find out for yourself!
Renowned photographers Stefan Liebermann, Eugen Kamenew, Nicholas Roemmelt and Jakob Sahner take you on a photographic journey through the night.
Using specific projects as examples, they’ll show you how you too can capture stunning images. Learn the basics, familiarise yourself with the necessary equipment and be inspired by a wide range of photographic ideas. The subjects range from simple astro-landscapes to Panoramas and deep-sky objects, right through to the Northern Lights and lunar eclipses.
Whether you’re new to the world of astrophotography or already have some experience, there’s something for everyone among the workshops, which cover a range of difficulty levels.
