Join us for a two-day Astrophotography Workshop in Exmoor, one of the UK’s premier Dark Sky Reserves. With minimal light pollution and vast, clear skies, Exmoor offers the perfect backdrop to master the art of photographing the Milky Way, star trails, and constellations.
Guided by an expert photographer, you’ll learn essential techniques, from setting up long exposures to capturing pin-sharp stars. You’ll capture stunning images of the Milky Way, with dramatic landscapes like Dunkery Beacon, Brendon Common, and the Valley of Rocks providing striking foregrounds. The cool night air and the endless expanse of stars will heighten your sense of awe as you photograph the wonders above.
Beyond shooting techniques, we’ll dive into post-processing, where you’ll learn to enhance your images by reducing noise, stacking exposures, and bringing out the intricate details of the night sky. These skills will help your photos stand out with vibrant clarity and depth.
With a small group size, you’ll receive personalised instruction tailored to your experience level, allowing for in-depth exploration and experimentation. Each night, as the stars emerge, you’ll capture the vast beauty of Exmoor’s dark skies, refining your techniques and gaining the confidence to continue exploring astrophotography long after the workshop ends.
Whether you’re a beginner eager to explore the cosmos or an experienced photographer looking to refine your astrophotography skills, this workshop blends technical learning with creative inspiration under Exmoor’s breathtaking skies.

We’ll start with a hands-on session, reviewing the critical astrophotography techniques you’ll need for the dark skies ahead. From camera settings to composition tips, our expert guide will ensure you’re prepared to make the most of the celestial spectacle.
As the night falls, we’ll head to Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor. With minimal light pollution, this is one of the best spots for stargazing and astrophotography. Capture the Milky Way as it arcs across the sky, or shoot long exposures of constellations and star trails, using the rolling hills and moorland as your natural foreground.
Throughout the night, you’ll receive personalised guidance on framing your shots, experimenting with exposure settings, and capturing the depth of the starry skies. The Exmoor dark skies provide one of the clearest views of the cosmos in the UK, making it the perfect location for beginners and seasoned astrophotographers. After a thrilling night of photography, we will return to our accommodation to rest and review your shots.
For the early risers, head to Lynmouth, a picturesque village on the Exmoor coast, to capture the breathtaking sunrise over the Bristol Channel. The tranquil morning light reflecting on the water creates a stunning contrast to the dark skies of the previous night.
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll dive into a post-processing session where you’ll learn how to edit your astrophotography shots for maximum impact. From enhancing star details to refining exposure, this workshop will help elevate your images and bring the night sky to life. We will spend the afternoon exploring Exmoor’s beautiful landscapes, such as Tarr Steps or Valley of Rocks, where you can practice landscape photography and capture the park's natural beauty
in daylight.
As dusk falls, we’ll head to Brendon Common, another renowned stargazing spot in Exmoor. With vast open skies and minimal light pollution, this is your final chance to capture stunning star-filled landscapes. Whether you want to focus on the Milky Way and the constellations or experiment with star trails, this location offers a variety of compositions against the rugged moorland. After two days of capturing the wonders of the night sky, you’ll check out of your accommodation
and leave Exmoor with a portfolio of stunning astrophotography images, newfound skills, and memories of the serene beauty of this dark sky haven.
