Introduction to Night Photography

This is an in-person and virtual event

Have you admired those luscious, dusk photos of cities with glowing, undulating trails of traffic and clouds that seem to be racing across the sky? Or the delicate tones of the fading light in a scenic landscape, or shadowy pedestrians that look like a swarm of bees in motion? Those photos require a little bit of skill, a tripod and patience. Shooting after the sun goes down is one of the most rewarding ways to spend time with your camera.

The three-class series will start with an online class via Zoom where the instructor will cover long exposure photographs, discuss how they were done and go through the technical and creative process of setting up a shot. For the second class, we will meet in-person outdoors at Trinity Groves or a similar location where we’ll position our tripods, get our exposures roughed in and make some interesting photos. You must wear a mask during the on-location shoot.

In the online image review, we will review students’ photos in a supportive critique and group discussion. We’ll end the class with a virtual gallery exhibit of everyone’s images.
