About the event

Paul Haworth, an award-winning landscape astrophotographer and filmmaker based in the Cambridgeshire Fens, leads this hands-on evening of nightscape photography at Cley Marshes.

Paul will start with the basics: handling your camera in the dark, focus and exposure. Then the group heads out onto the reserve itself for three hours of practical shooting under the dark North Norfolk skies, a rare chance to experience Cley after hours.
