Light Trails continue to be popular subject matter for many photographers and they can actually be a great training ground for those wanting to get their cameras out of manual mode and to experiment with shooting in low light at longer exposures.

We will meet at Camera Mall at 7pm and head to one of my favorite locations for photographing LIGHT TRAILS during BLUE HOUR. (Blue Hour is that Magic time just after the sun sets to get that Blue hue and color in the sky.)
I will go over basic camera settings and composition skills to get the best possible image of cars speeding by underneath.
Equipment:
There is not just one particular type of camera and kit that you’ll need to capture light trails – however it is important to have a camera that allows you to have some control over exposure settings – particularly those that allow you to choose longer shutter speeds. This means you need a camera that has the ability to shoot in either full manual mode and/or shutter priority mode (something that all DSLRs and many point and shoot cameras have).
You’ll also need a tripod (or some other way to making your camera completely still) as you’ll be shooting with long shutter speeds which will make shooting handheld pretty much impossible.
Not essential but helpful to have with you are lens hoods (to help block lens flare from ambient lights), remote shutter release cables or wireless remote controls,a ND or Polarizing filter is helpful to slow down exposure, patience and some warm clothes if you’re going out on a chilly night.
WE CAN ALSO GO TO DINNER AFTERWARDS AND DISCUSS OUR IMAGES AS A GROUP. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DINNER,BUT ITS NOT MANDITORY TO ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP.
COST OF THE WORKSHOP IS $24.50 AND PLEASE PAY WHEN YOU RSVP.
