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.
