Photographing the Milky Way - 3 part class

Join 3 experienced Milky Way photographers as we take you on a journey…


Frank Kuszak, Jorge Restrepo and Stephen Weiss.

Learn the simple way to shoot and process Milky Way images.  


Our 3 instructors will help you all the way with this process!


Equipment:


• A DSLR or camera with Manual modes.  We do not suggest point-and-shoot cameras.

• A wide-angle lens 

• A very STURDY camera tripod – make sure you do not use a tripod with a single arm which is used for video.  You will not be able to angle the camera the correct way! – Call the store if you have questions.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!  If you need a tripod we will offer you 10% off after you sign up for the class.

• A remote for your camera – or just use the self-timer.

• A Knowledge of your camera is the dark.  

o You must be able to set the ISO, aperture and shutter in the dark.

o If not bring a thick towel so you can put it over your camera and not ruin the other persons images from light bouncing into their cameras!

• WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A RED VERY DIM LIGHT – FREE.



This is a 3-part class.


1. Zoom meeting with instructions being sent to you before we go photograph the sky!


2. 90 minutes of instruction while photographing the sky – Troy, Missouri on a private farm with very little sky light.  This is owned by one of our customers! - Dinner provided - Hot Dogs/chips and drinks!  


3. Editing class using LRC and Photoshop at the Photo Pros office.


As with any outdoor shoot, there is a possibility of clouds or rain, we will reschedule the class.  If you can’t make the actual night photography class…we will refund you $1/2 OF YOU MONEY OR YOU CAN APPLY IT TO THE NEXT SKY CLASS!  You will learn a lot during the Zoom meeting and editing class (so no full refunds).


*All images by your instructors!
