    Hello Nick and Donald - During the meetup you mentioned that you would try to write up something about settings we used and other informtion that may be helpful in remembering some of these helpful hints. Would you possibly have time to get that together? Thanks so much

    The class was definitely a great beginning in what I was looking to learn in night photography. I liked the aspect that Nick and Don helped individually as needed. Now the next step is to remember what we learned and work with it more often. Now I need sunset photography to add to this great class - thank you both

    My first time with this Meetup, like the concept of the workshop, learned new things about night photography as well as about controls on my camera that will help me with night photogrpahy.

    Dear members,

    A few notes for tonights class. It should be a beautiful clear night, which means cold so bundle up and make sure you bring lots of layers. We also have some recommended equipment for you-we have listed them in an email so make sure you take a look

    This class utilizes Manual exposure mode, for those of you who are unfamiliar don't panic! we will help you set the times and you will not have to calculate proper exposures as this class focuses more on the concepts, tips and tricks of nighttime exposure as well as composition to ensure that you will be fully equipped and prepared for your next nighttime outing.

    Once you arrive if you are facing downtown we will be to the left of the ferry landing pier on the grassy area-feel free to call if you need directions

    See you tonight,

    Nicholas and Don

    I am considering signing up for this meetup but would like to know if you individually help with settings. I know there are others in the group and I do have some knowledge in using manual mode and night shooting but am looking to get much better as alot of my shots just don't look right.

    Thank you

      Yes we can provide some individual help with settings. We look forward to meeting you.
