Join award-winning photographer Rich Bunce for a night time walk to take in the spectacular Geminids meteor shower over Ilkley Moor.
We’ll meet on the moor to witness this phenomenon and capture some fantastic images with your camera, guided by Rich in a relaxed and informative manner. Learn more about the settings on your camera and the techniques you need to make the most of this opportunity.
The Geminids are considered one of the best meteor showers every year because the individual meteors are bright, and they come fast and furious. You will not want to miss this event. Booking required.
