About the event
Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Craig Turnbull and special guest host Stephen Knight , for a fun and informative light painting workshop.
Stephen has an amazing collection of images created using an array of light painting tools and special techniques. Some of these tools will be available for everyone to use throughout the night.
After introductions, Stephen will spend around 15 minutes going through the necessary settings and techniques, followed by a few demonstrations, allowing you to capture a few test shots.

Depending on the group size we may then split up into 2 groups where we will again help everyone with camera settings to ensure you all come away with some amazing images. With guidance you will all get the chance to both create the light and capture images from this point forward.
