JOSHUA TREE
MILKY WAY
ARCH ROCK
PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
SMALL GROUPS (4)
ALL SKILL LEVELS (See Equipment Requirements below).
We meet near the 29 Palms entrance (not Joshua Tree). Here are some LOCAL LODGINGS.
We will be done around Midnight.
The Arch is the “iconic” Milky Way location in the Park. I have been shooting at this location for a decade. We will spend the evening exploring the park and the Milky Way in Joshua Tree. An excellent introduction to Dark Sky Photography for beginners, and an excellent location for experienced photographers to take their craft to the next level.
Class size limited to 4
WORKSHOP INCLUDES
Night Time session - from Sunset until about Midnight.
Dark Sky Photography training
Optimal camera settings for ISO / Aperture / Exposure / Color Temperature
Overview of Astronomy topics relevant to Night Photography
Optimal Camera Setup, including lens selection.
Afterwards I will send you my Post-Processing VIDEO for Lightroom Classic.
EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (Check out my GEAR GUIDES)
This workshop requires that you have a DLSR (or Mirrorless) camera which allows for manual settings of Aperture, Exposure duration and ISO. The camera should support interchangeable lenses - FAST (F2.8 or faster) and WIDE (20MM or wider, 14MM is preferable) are best for nighttime photography (lenses can be rented on-line). You will also need a tripod. Once you've registered I will send you a list of recommended equipment and gear.
