ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
This workshop will teach you everything you need to know about how to take great photographs of the milky way, stars and meteor showers. We will also cover star trails, timelapse photography and light painting. The workshop will start in the afternoon and continue into sunrise the morning of the 4th. The workshop includes dinner at a local sports pub and it also includes hot chocolate / hot tea overnight. We will also have a fire on the beach for most of the night so in the winter months we can still keep warm by the fire. A campsite is also included, so bring your sleeping bag and tent!
The quadrantis only peak on 1 night and this is that night. Rates can exceed 200 meteor per hour as well. I have viewed this meteor shower in Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, it have never let me down. There is a chance it could be cold out, but with the proper clothing choices, you will be just fine, especially near the campfire. A list of winter gear both for you person, and your gear will be supplied.
