About the event
Join an online session with landscape and nightscape photographer Luke Tscharke, and delve into one of the earth's most incredible natural phenomena: an aurora. Luke has almost ten years of experience photographing the aurora, both in Iceland and Norway and all across his home state of Tasmania. If you've never seen one, then it most certainly should be on your bucket list. The feeling you get seeing the green ribbons and beams dancing is something you'll never forget!
Luke will take you through the whole process of capturing an aurora in camera, from planning your shoot, to knowing when it's a good time to go out on an aurora chase, and then step you through what to do with your camera when the northern or southern lights are dancing on the horizon.
If you've always wanted to shoot an aurora and didn't know where to start, or have some experience and want some tips to level up, then you're bound to get a lot of value out of this session. If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact.
