Let’s go star hunting without light pollution
Basic photography workshop for those who are approaching night photography for the first time (or almost) and want an ideal environment for photographing the stars in a natural environment away from city lights.
The cost includes:
- AIGAE guide with RC insurance for each participating person. The cost of the fee is per person. Each participant must communicate their details before the excursion.
- walk of about 1.5/2 hours to reach the shooting point
- photo session of approximately 1 hour
- return
- head torch
Not included:
- tripod, camera, memory cards and anything not explicitly described.
Hours:
meeting at 9.00 pm (9.00 PM)
return at 1.30 am (1.30 AM)
For the walk to be a success, an optimal weather situation is REQUIRED, therefore in the event of adverse conditions it will be possible to reschedule the session for FREE.
Equipment and materials necessary to carry out the activities
Each participant must have at least one liter of water with them
We will all have to wear trekking boots, much of the route runs along the white path and in some places it is possible to find muddy areas. If it is winter it is best that they are high shoes with ankle coverage. It is not possible to take the walk with trainers/tennis/sneakers.
Also necessary for variable situations (for all daytime excursions, even in winter with snowshoes): sunglasses, hat and windbreaker suitable for rain.
In winter it is normal to have long trousers, but even in summer it is good to use long trousers because, in the most impervious parts of the route, we can encounter tall grass and having long trousers will allow us to better protect our legs also from possible thorns or insects.
From May to September included, always bring a sunscreen with you to prevent sunburn.
To better remember the day, a good camera to immortalize the environment around us is highly recommended.
Indispensable material for winter or night activities
Regarding this activity we must consider the following material essential:
- fleece or wool hat
- thermal jacket
- winter sweatshirt
- gloves
- front light bulb
Trekking poles are also highly recommended as they will help us in the most challenging moments of the route.
