Mary will explain how star trails photography can be done with the basic equipment most members are likely to have already (or can borrow). Including all the camera settings you need and how to use the star trails stacking software to produce the final result. After the break she will also show us how to create a gorgeous star trails time-lapse video. The software she recommends is free of charge so you can do this without spending loads of money!

Dave will discuss the problems with low light, such as focussing and exposure and show ways to overcome them. However, low light photography is not all about overcoming the lack of light. Dave will show it's about using the ambient and artificial light you have, manipulating them and the exposure settings of your camera to produce many different effects that can transform the images you capture.

He has been giving presentations to many local groups – not only local photographic groups - and whilst much of his photographs have mainly been taken in Africa he has recently been to Japan where there is a plethora of wildlife, including plants, insects and animals, that one doesn’t expect.

When digital cameras appeared Neil decided that this was going to be the future of photography and he got his first digital Nikon camera in 2001. Apart from giving photographers a change in working practices it gave them control over their workflow. But for Neil the biggest single thing it did was open up the gates of creativity.
To Neil, photography is about being inspired to capture and print beautiful pieces of fine art.

From macro, still life, wildlife, reed beds, the canal and the railway line, Thatcham Discovery Centre provides many different environments to practice. Don't forget to bring your camera!
Caution:
If you go close to the railway line, stay super aware of approaching trains. It's easy to get lost in the moment of taking a photo and forget where you are!
Parking:
The main car park closes at 8.00p.m. so make sure you park up the lane on the Newbury side (West) of the lakes where there is a smaller car park. There is also space much further up this lane nearer the reed beds.
