Workshop FAQ

Good to know.

Do I need a tripod?
Yes, for the dusk images once the light drops. Tripods are available to hire.
What time does it start?
It's timed to sunset, so the start time moves through the year. Your booking shows the exact time.
Can I change my booking?
Payments are non-refundable, but you can transfer to another CapturEDU workshop within 12 months of the original date. Let us know in writing.
What if the weather is bad?
Cloud often makes a better sunset. If conditions make the session unsafe or unworkable, we'll move you to another date or transfer your booking.
