Take Control of the Dark- Night Photography

with Lewis Kemper

December 5 – 7, 2019

Members: $695 | Non-Members: $745

Night photography requires some special gear – tripod, camera, remote shutter release or intervalometer, bubble level, white balancing tools, and/or CamRanger. Lewis will demonstrate these tools and talk about techniques for making night images that include shooting stars, cityscapes, HDR, high ISO, light painting, creating motion with zoom, panoramas and more. Besides just taking pictures, we will work in the digital darkroom learning how to best bring out the nuances of night images. Learn how to make stars pop, keep the highlights of clipping, do local white balance corrections and more. Lewis will also cover taking and processing of realistic looking night HDR images and how to process HDR panos.  The instructor may adjust the schedule to allow for earlier morning and/or late evening shoot times; those changes will be announced during class.

Don’t ever be afraid of the dark again!
