Stargazing: Night Sky Photography Workshop

[ Read: July 9, 2021: Night Sky Photography Workshop Recap ]

About the Workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to educate people on how to capture the beauty of the night sky on camera. Topics being covered include equipment needed, camera settings, and the best for viewing. These workshops will start out with a brief powerpoint presentation (at the Outdoor Activity Center), and then we will go outside for hands-on experience — taking pictures of the night time sky around the Lodge property (weather depending). With the information garnered from the workshop, it will make stargazing more enjoyable.

About the Instructor: Pam Dyl

Hello! My name is Pam, and I have been a photographer for the past 6 years and counting. I graduated from Northern Michigan University in 2017, with an associates degree in Art and Design, Photography. I also graduated from the New York Institute of Photography in 2019, with a diploma in Business for Photography. During that time, I’ve learned the secrets of night sky photography, including capturing the illusive Northern Lights, won a few photo contests, had a few photos featured at Northern Michigan University, Crooked Tree Arts Center, the DeVos Museum, and the local Daily Mining Gazette calendar. I’ve also photographed weddings, landscapes, family portraits, high school senior portraits, newborn portraits, nature/wildlife. I love capturing special moments with my camera. I also am very happy to be a part of the team, here at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge!
