One Night Astrophotography Workshop
Class Format:
Around sunset, we’ll meet at / near our workshop location and casually review astro basics, camera settings and night photo etiquette. We’ll make sure all students are comfortable with their cameras prior to photographing the stars.
After the preliminary discussion concludes, we’ll wait for the skies to darken. Students can relax and photograph spending ~30min exploring the area on their own or receive 1:1 guidance. We’ll spend the remaining 90 min working together on your technique and composition, our experienced instructors will give you personal guidance along the way.
*Please keep in mind that weather is unpredictable. We will monitor the weather up to 48 hours before each class date and reschedule the class if need be.
