Slow Shutter Cambridge: Long Exposure Masterclass - CPM 26
About this Event
Learn to Slow Down and Create Extraordinary Images
When the crowds disappear and the city lights begin to glow, Cambridge transforms into a photographer's playground.
Join us for a hands-on long exposure photography workshop through the heart of Cambridge, where you'll learn how to use time, movement, and light to create striking images that simply aren't possible with a quick click of the shutter.
Whether it's silky water reflections, streaking bicycle lights, moving clouds, or the timeless architecture of Cambridge illuminated after dark, this workshop will help you master one of photography's most creative techniques.
📸 What You'll Learn
Long exposure photography is about far more than leaving the shutter open.
Throughout the evening we'll cover:
- Understanding shutter speed and exposure
- Creating smooth water and atmospheric reflections
- Capturing light trails and movement
- Working with city lights after dark
- Choosing strong compositions and viewpoints
- Using leading lines and architecture effectively
- Managing highlights and challenging lighting conditions
- Building confidence with manual camera settings
- Using tripods correctly for maximum sharpness
We'll also discuss how to adapt your approach depending on the scene and how to turn ordinary locations into extraordinary photographs.
