Photographing the Milky Way - 3 part class
Photography the night sky
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).
