Night Photography Workshop

• 10/20/2018 National Parks at Night Location: Hiouchi Visitor Center, National Parks at Night Time: 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM Fee Information: $75 (cash or check, only) Contact Phone Number: 707-465-7335
  Sponsored by Redwood National and State Parks and Bay Photo, join National Parks at Night photographers Lance Keimig and Chris Nicholson for a hands-on, introductory mini-workshop to learn the fundamental techniques and concepts of night photography and light painting. Night photography is a fun and challenging way to enjoy our national parks, and today’s digital technology makes night photography more accessible than ever. Even those with limited photography experience (though some personal gear/equipment is required—see below) can learn the fundamentals in this fun mini-workshop.
  
  The workshop will begin with a 1.5 – 2-hour tech talk at the Hiouchi Visitor Center, followed by set up of participant’s cameras. Participants will then travel to Jedediah Smith Day Use Area (carpooling may be limited so please plan on traveling in your personal vehicle) where Lance and Chris will demonstrate night photography and light painting techniques and assist participants with their own shots. At workshop conclusion, suggestions for additional night sky photography locations will be offered. 
  
  Workshop participation is limited. Please call 707-465-7335 to register. A $75 workshop fee (cash or check, only) will be paid at the workshop location on the day of the event.
  
  Participants should bring: a DSLR or mirrorless camera that is capable of manual exposure and manual focus (point-and-shoot cameras and phones will not suffice); a wide angle lens and lens hood or lens shade, and, a tripod (required). Helpful items to bring include: a remote release or intervalometer; extra batteries (make sure all batteries are fully charged!); your camera’s manual; and, flashlights— bright ones, dim ones, white or colored light, whatever you have on hand. If they have the manual for their camera, they should bring that too.
  
  Dress warmly, and bring water and/or warm beverage and a snack as the workshop goes late into the evening/night.
