Shooting a panorama gives you the flexibility to combine the stars with foreground that creates an engaging scene that leads the viewer on a visual journey of discovery. Learn techniques to quickly capture these scenes and to minimise issues such as vignetting in the field 


This course provides an introduction to the basics of shooting a panorama in the field plus comprehensive notes on how to shoot a panorama quickly and efficiently in the field using techniques to avoid issues in processing.


Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via the contact table on my website.

FAQs and booking policies


Assumed knowledge


I assume no knowledge of camera settings. About two weeks before a workshop I send out a brief summary of settings that I wish participants to familiarise themselves with to get more out of their evening. Comprehensive notes are provided to all participants so that they don’t have to remember it all!


Group size


Is limited to no more than 5 participants. Experience shows that this enables ample opportunity to provide individualised guidance to all participants. 


What if there is poor weather on the evening of your workshop


All my workshops contain a theory component with written notes provided to all participants, the workshop will proceed as scheduled. 


If there is poor weather and astrophotography is not possible, I arrange three make-up nights with participants taking into account their availability as far as possible. This usually then provides the opportunity to do the field work with clearer skies.

  • The cost for this workshop is $250 per participant.
  • A workshop typically includes 1-1.5 hours theory and about 3 hours work in the field. Commencement times are seasonal. Winter workshops commence at 4 pm and later at other times of the year to take account of greater day length. Please note the time carefully when booking your workshop

  • You'll get a confirmation email shortly after completing the payment process
  • A few days before the workshop, an email with a weather update, final workshop details will be sent. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about the workshop. ​


Cancellation Policy

​

Your booking can be cancelled at any time up to four weeks before the workshop day for a full refund (less a 10% administration fee). 


Cancellations made within 21 days before the workshop will incur a 50% cancellation fee. 


Unfortunately, I am unable to issue a refund for cancellations made less than 14 days before the workshop.


Insurance


Participants need to be aware that there is a field component to each workshop and that consistent with life, accidents may occur. Accordingly, each participant is responsible for arranging all their insurance needs as appropriate to their individual situation, such as medical, travel, etc for the workshop. 


What if I have disability or mobility issues?


Please let me know ahead of the workshop, I routinely schedule the location of my workshops at spots that are within close proximity to your vehicles. Such locations usually are suitable for people with mobility issues.
