Syrjävaara’s night photography course has been tried and tested. The course teaches night photography with a SLR camera. If you do not have your own yet, you will have a teaching camera for the lessons.
All the topics in the course are practical, they are not just theory. As we move into the night to shoot, you’re ready to take your first fotos and you’ll succeed as well.
The course consists of four learning sessions. The length of each is about 90 minutes. If more time is needed, we don’t skimp on it. The goal is practical learning!

Theories and exercises are held on Saturdays:
October 23 at. 10-12.
November 6 at. 10-12

Shooting date is November 20 in the evening / night. The time is agreed with the course participants.
