Shortest Night 2023 – A Photographic Adventure in North Wales

What Will Happen

Welshot Does… The Shortest Night 2023 – A Photographic Adventure in North Wales.  On this, our annual all night adventure we will be visiting the beautiful landscape of Anglesey and Snowdonia in North Wales, which is always a firm Welshot favourite and always has our delegates booking on the next years ‘Shortest Night’ adventure before breakfast (included) have been eaten at the end of the event. The not so short, night of photography, which is always held as close to the 21st June as possible starts by the side of Llyn Padarn (Llanberis Lake) deep in the heart of Snowdonia before moving on for a marathon photographic session visiting numerous locations. Sixteen hours (Yes, we can see the irony!) of photographic fun, friendship and getting creative with your camera will have you shooting everything from star trails to long exposures, from architecture to land and seascapes. Hunting for the magic blue bioluminescence will also be on the agenda.  

Shortest Night 2023 – A Photographic Adventure in North Wales Locations:

  • Llanberis Lake – (Llyn Padarn) and for those that must… Yes, THAT Tree!
  • Dolbardarn Castle
  • St Tysilio’s Church – Church Island (Llandysillo Island) – Menai Bridge
  • Belgium Walk – Menai Bridge
  • Britannia Bridge / Menai Bridge
