Welcome to the Dark Side of photography!
The pun is intended. Star photography is tricky,
and left to figure it out on your own it could be a frustrating endeavor
for sure. Join the rebel instructors of the Aperture Academy for an
night of photography and fun under the stars!
Going out in the dark at night alone can be a daunting even frightening experience. Why not join a group of other like-minded photography enthusiasts, and professional instructors and make a night of it. We'll drive you to the location and our instructors will help you capture the beauty and take the mystery out of star photography!
This workshop will begin at the Aperture Academy Studio. We will spend the first 30 minutes with a classroom presentation to talk about the various techniques that will be taught so that, once in the field, everyone will understand the camera settings and techniques. We will then travel south to Pinnacles National Park so that we can escape the light pollution of the city to increase the quality of stars in the night sky!
Results may vary based on time of year, weather and atmospheric conditions however you WILL leave this workshop with a solid understanding of the proper techniques for capturing the night sky.
This goal of this workshop is to teach the beginner the fundamentals necessary to photographically capture pinpoint stars, star trails, light writing/painting and the Milky Way.
