About the Workshop
|
The wonder and amazement of the Milky Way. Billions of stars stretching over the entire night sky. Take your photography to the next level and amaze your friends and family.
Certain equipment is required for this workshop. See "What to Bring".
For this workshop, I've selected two very special locations for shooting the Milky Way. One is near an abandoned house and the other is near an abandoned historic church.
Due to the remote nature of this workshop, participants should bring water and food.
Photography instruction and assistance will be provided in the field and tailored to individual needs with an emphasis on the many challenges faced when shooting at night.
This workshop requires nearly cloud free skies. In the event that weather conditions aren't favorable, an alternate date will be available.
|
Physical Requirements
|
Physical requirements for this workshop is rated as EASY. We will drive to the photography venue and we will be only a few yards from our vehicles. It will be very dark so care will need to be taken when walking to and from your vehicle.
