Twilight Photography – Victoria Square's Christmas Lights, Festive Nights. This is probably going to be the best night for this special event (which ends the next day). This day (21st) is the summer solstice, and sunset will be 8:29pm.
Photography doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down, especially with the power of your Sony Alpha camera. Twilight is one of the best times to take exciting photos. Come along and learn tips and tricks for dealing with the bright lights.
We will start at 7pm for dinner and a chat inside the nearby Chinatown Plaza food court.
Then about 7:45pm wander down Grote Street to the magical evening of activities and entertainment at Christmas Lights, Festive Nights next to the ever-changing lights in the Christmas tree in Victoria Square.
Colin will give tips to help capture this colourful event. You may like to bring a tripod, but beware we don't want them to become tripping hazards. The Optical Steady Shot (OSS) in many Sony lenses and/or the In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) of most recent Sony cameras may reduce the need for a tripod by allowing handholding at slower shutter speeds (within limits). This may give interesting effects when people walk through your scene.
