La Palma Landscape Astrophotography Workshop
Capture the Milky Way, Cloud Inversions, and Volcanic Landscapes in Europe's Premier Dark Sky Reserve. Join professional photographer Simon Waldram for an immersive astrophotography workshop on La Palma, Canary Islands — one of the world's top destinations for photographing the night sky. This workshop is designed for photographers who want to master nightscape techniques while exploring dramatic volcanic terrain, surreal cloud inversions, and pristine skies above the clouds. La Palma is internationally recognised for its dark, light-pollution-free skies. Photograph from one of Europe's highest observatories at Roque de los Muchachos, rising above the clouds for unmatched clarity. Spend nights atop the volcanic crater rim of Caldera de Taburiente National Park capturing the Milky Way, planets, and constellations. Witness and photograph surreal scenes where a sea of clouds forms below you.
