Full Moon Photography Excursion

Who?

Open to Age 18-Whatever - Amateurs - Professionals - Enthusiasts

This class is designed to teach late night photography techniques to all brackets of photographers. Late Night Photography is a fun and exciting way to see the world in different light. Take your photography to a whole new level without spending a fortune on gear.

What?

Lesson: Learn new techniques in Painting with Light, and Long Exposure.
You will learn to see light in a whole new way and find light sources that you may never thought existed.
This is NOT a classroom seminar, instead, this is an interactive class for YOU to get results from your camera. This is taught in the field and on-site.

Requirements:
You don't have to be a professional, but this class is for anyone with DSLR cameras that have manual settings. In order for you to get the most out of this class, you will need to know how to set the following camera settings on YOUR camera: ISO, Shutter Speed, & F-Stop

These are the foundation to our class! You will be setting your camera on manual settings during the entire excursion.

Big Benefit!
You may want to also look up how to set a custom white balance on your camera.

Travel:
We will meet at the Nightlife Center at 8pm, do orientation, then load the van and head out to the sites.

Excursion includes transportation to each site and will end back at the Nightlife Center roughly around midnight.

Why the Van? Our van is equipped with a platform, "The Loft", that allows you to photograph from 13' high. This gives you a very different perspective to our subjects. This gives you photos that your friends simply cannot get.

In order to have access to The Loft, a waiver is required and will be provided night of the class. No Exceptions.

ADA Regulations:
While we would love to provide access to everyone, The Loft does NOT meet ADA accessibility regulations for disabled persons.

SPECIAL NOTE: We have had people try to follow us and not pay for the class but instead, tag along. Sorry, but we simply can't allow this..

NO driving behind the van, no tag alongs. No Exceptions!

Needed to Bring:

- Camera

DSLR Cameras
Must have a manual setting allowing you to change the ISO, Shutter Speed, F-Stop and White Balance. If your camera can't do this, then you will be very bore and very unhappy.

- Tripod

Any tripod will do as long as it holds your camera still.

- Media

CF Cards or whatever cards your camera takes to record images.

- Bug Spray

of your choice. We will have bug spray with us but you may not like it, just best to bring your own.

Large or small, doesn't matter, we will also have a few on hand to demonstrate how we use them.

- Charged Batteries

Make sure batteries for your camera are charged BEFORE you arrive.

If you have something you'd like to bring to add to the cooler that is fine, but please know that we do NOT allow drugs or alcohol on any of these excursions.


Legal Notice:
Drugs and Alcohol prohibited from all excursions - You will be removed from the class by law enforcement if you bring it, so leave it at home please.


Notice:

Private Property:
We will be photographing at locations that are owned by others. We are NOT allowed to tresspass on any property. All photos WILL be taken from public access areas.

There may be areas that are more sensitive to sound and people given the time of night we will be photographing. Please respect the neighborhoods we will be in.

Anyone not adhering to these rules will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Restrooms:
We will be photographing in remote locations where we might not have access to a restroom. In between locations, we will do our best to make provisions for restroom breaks.

Good Practice:
As a photographer, you should already have a list of your gear and their serial numbers. In excursions like these, it can be easy to misplace gear or leave it out where someone else can get it. It is always a good practice to keep your gear list with you at all times. While we will have security with us during this excursion, people can still be sneaky. Be sure to keep your bags zipped up when not using your gear and pay attention to where you leave things. We are NOT responsible for lost or stolen property. If we find that you left something in the van after the excursion, we will notify particiants and ask for the serial number to verify that it is yours.
