Photography Workshop & Golden Hour Ride with Leica at Rapha Clubhouse Manchester, City Centre 8 September 2017 Entrance is free — Visit now

Photography and cycling? As part of Rapha Rides Manchester, Rapha has teamed up with the iconic camera brand, Leica, to offer a free workshop in how to make the most of that brief window of time, just after sunrise or before sunset, known to photographers as the ‘Golden Hour’ (when the light is at its best). The workshop will be followed by a guided group ride around the city to test out your new skills and take dreamy shots galore. The best images shared on Instagram (tagged #rapharides) will be printed and displayed in the Rapha Manchester gallery as part of Leica Shot of the Weekend.
