SOLD OUT
2023 PERSEID METEOR SHOWER
PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

NOTE: On the night of August 12, the moon does not rise high in the sky until after midnight - so the viewing will be great! And the moon is a small cresent so it is not very bright.

YOU WILL NEED TO ARRANGE LODGING NEAR JOSHUA TREE

We will spend the night exploring the park and the Milky Way in Joshua Tree. An excellent introduction to Astrophotography for beginners, and an excellent location for experienced photographers to take their craft to the next level. I will send out post-processing information after the workshop.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

See our 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. You will also need to bring a laptop (for processing your images). Once you've registered I will send you a list of download instructions for the software which is used in the workshop.
