Description
Star Trail Photography Workshops are scheduled year-round. This session is for one person.
Contact me for a session for two people.
Do you currently own a DSLR or mirrorless camera? If so, have you ever marveled at the remarkable low-light capabilities of modern digital cameras? These advanced cameras can capture breathtaking images even in dimly lit conditions. Have you ever contemplated immersing yourself in the enchanting realm of night photography? It’s a captivating and intriguing genre that demands a distinctive approach compared to daytime photography. By mastering the right techniques, you can capture awe-inspiring landscapes adorned with twinkling stars and even immortalize the mesmerizing beauty of star trails. A deep understanding of manipulating your camera settings in low-light environments can unveil a whole new world of photographic opportunities, enabling you to seize the elusive allure of the night sky.
In this star trail photography workshop, you will learn how to capture stunning images of star trails. The workshop will cover topics such as camera settings, lens considerations, night photography etiquette, white balance adjustments, exposure, and composition. Additionally, the course will explore different types of star trails and discuss tools and techniques for composition and understanding the types of star trails possible.
Students will gain a solid grounding in star trail photography, including best practices essential for success.
The session includes a critique of a submitted night image. (Optional)

*Important: This is a very weather-dependent workshop. In case of cloudy weather, the workshop will be rescheduled. Please note that several astronomical forecasting tools are used to determine a good night of clarity, but it is not a perfect science. The 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.
** If you are sick or feeling unwell (please stay home), I will gladly reschedule.
