28 May (Sat): Night Macro Photography Workshop with Nicky Bay

Join Nicky Bay as he introduces the fascinating art of night macro photography at Pulau Ubin.

Nicky Bay does almost 50 night macro photography sessions per year!
He says it is definitely incomparable to any day trip.

Night macro photography is undoubtedly much more productive and exciting than in the day. After the sun sets, nocturnal creatures emerge from their hideouts to hunt. At the same time, diurnal critters are significantly less skittish due to the lower temperatures. To top it off, it is definitely more comfortable than hiking under the sun! Many beginners to macro photography are unaware of the advantages of night macro photography and have absolutely no idea how to start.

This workshop is ideal for those starting out on macro photography, and for those who have field experience but have never tried macro photography at night. This is the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded photographers and learn from highly experienced photographers in night macro photography.  More details here.
