Stargazing: Night Sky Photography Workshop

[ Read: February 9, 2024: Northern Lights 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 locations for viewing. These workshops will start out with a brief PowerPoint presentation (in the conference room), and then we will go outside for hands-on experience — taking pictures of the night time sky (hopefully northern lights) around the Lodge property (weather depending). With the information garnered from the workshop, it will make stargazing more enjoyable. Please bring your camera, a tripod, a red flashlight (if you have one), warm clothing, and a great attitude.
