City Nightscape Meetup - Mount Ainslie Lookout - 7pm - 2 hours
Nightscape is hard to guarantee a satisfying exposure for every part of your frame. Sometimes the dynamic range of our camera is not enough to help us get all the details when doing post-processing. So zone system is an essential skill if we want to get a neat image at night. This meetup will be a prerequisite class of zone system for you to know how to apply the zone system when you shoot nightscape, what should we be aware of when we decide to use this concept.

Both hubby and I really enjoyed the experience. Despite being a windy day it didn't take away from several pleasant hours of learning new tips, techniques and ideas, thanks to Ijumma. Being a small, supportive group really helped too. We completed this session feeling inspired and ready to test out our new found skills.

Really enjoyed it - although I got very cold by the end! Tutor was very helpful, personable and knowledgeable. My aim was to use 'manual' and I did, with his guidance, and came home with some very encouraging images.
