Urban settings are perhaps the most iconic when it comes to low light photography. The luminescence of the city is brought to life in the waning light of the evening. London is a perfect location to capture this effect as a city that never sleeps with an array of dramatic locations.
Low light photography can produce beautiful and eye-catching results, but it does require practice to get right. It is also a style of photography that can work really well on a smartphone camera once contrast and exposure techniques are understood. So why not join one of our group Low Light Safaris this May and June to learn more about it while enjoying the warmer evenings and atmosphere of central London?
When are the low light smartphone safaris?
Jet is running two low light safaris on Wednesday 10th May and Wednesday 21st June, both at 19:00. With the longer evenings, this makes for a great time to meet and learn about different techniques before trying out various shots and locations as the night draws in.
Where in London will the low light safaris take place?
Both sessions will start at Leicester Square and tour around the West End before heading back towards the river to finish. This is such a great area to achieve the contrast between illumination, low light and the bustle of the city centre, while also having the chance to explore some quieter spots off the beaten track.
What else should I know?
Both safaris last 2 hours, over which time Jet will show you different techniques and tips to achieve some great low light snaps with your smartphone camera. At the end of the session, the group will stop in at a local bar to learn about how to edit their images using the free app, Snapseed.
These sessions are perfect for tourists and locals alike as we take in different parts of the West End as well as less explored spots.
All you need to bring along is your smartphone, some warm layers and comfy footwear.
The two-hour session costs £45.00pp. If you would like to book on either the May or June low light safaris, you can follow this link and choose “London – Jet” to see the safaris on offer.
