Do you currently own a DSLR or mirrorless camera? If so, are you aware of the impressive low-light capabilities of modern digital cameras? These cameras are capable of capturing stunning images even in dark conditions. Have you ever considered delving into the captivating world of night photography? It’s a unique and fascinating genre that requires a different approach compared to daytime photography. With the right techniques, you can capture breathtaking landscapes filled with stars and even photograph the awe-inspiring beauty of the Milky Way. Understanding how to manipulate your camera settings in low-light environments can open up a whole new realm of photographic possibilities and allow you to capture the elusive beauty of the night sky.
​OVERVIEW
This Instructor Lead photography workshop will walk through the entire Milky Way capture process, starting from Camera settings, Lens considerations, “Night photography etiquette”, White balance considerations, and Exposure.
​​EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Students who complete this photography workshop will be able to capture Milky Way & astro-landscape images.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
All levels of photographers will benefit from this photography workshop.
​Place: Live Instructor-Led photography workshop, ~3 hours total instruction.
​Date: Scheduled based on Milky Way Visibility, 3 hours on location*. Registration will open the week of the workshop. Sign up for notifications.
​​Group Cost: $100 (No refunds) ** Maximum 6 participants for on-location shoot.
The amount listed ($104) includes the 4% credit card convenience fee. Other payment options are below.
Important: This is a very weather-dependent workshop. In case of cloudy weather, the workshop will be rescheduled. If rescheduled date conflicts with your schedule, you may use the registration fee towards another workshop (Milky Way or other). Please note that several astronomical forecasting tools are used to determine a good night of clarity, but it is not a perfect science. Clarity of the sky can change rapidly. Flexibility is very important when chasing the night skies. If the forecast is good but the actual conditions are not when we arrive at the destination, we will reschedule or move to another location if feasible.
​* Location will be selected based on forecast. Generally, Eastern Massachusetts (including Cape Cod), Rhode Island, and southern New Hampshire. The actual shooting location may change at the last minute due to cloud forecast. Location will vary depending on the forecast. Some locations require a fair amount of walking to the shoot location. Some locations are close to the parking area.
** If you are sick or feeling unwell (please stay home), I will gladly give you a credit towards a future photography workshop. If the rescheduled date conflicts with your schedule, you may use the registration fee towards another photography workshop (Milky Way or another).
