You will learn how to control the ambient light with your long exposures and the "local" light with your flashlight. FYI, we will mainly be walking on roads and there is not a lot of walking required.

We will spend the first part of the session going over camera settings and tips for long exposures, light painting etc.

You MUST bring some sort of red flashlight (see below). You may not use a white flashlight as it interferes with your night vision and it interferes with exposures.

Take exposures less than 30 seconds for pinpoint stars or for 1-10 minutes to capture some star trails, point your camera at the north star and get circular star trails (8-60 minute exposures); light the headstones, walk amongst them, be a ghost in your own image - the sky is the limit.

Things to Bring:
-- Camera and wide angle lens (24-105 type; faster is better if you have more than one lens to choose from)
--all camera makes and models are welcome!
-- extra batteries
-- Sturdy tripod
-- Cable release (you will be shooting for more than 30 seconds so you need a cable release)
-- Water, Snack (there is a bathroom on the premises)
-- Sturdy shoes (hiking boots provide good ankle support)
-- Appropriate outdoor clothing, fingerless gloves, hot hands, layers for cold weather
-- RED Flashlight (Walmart sells them or use red cellophane or red overheads from staples and tape). You MUST bring some sort of red flashlight. You may not use a white flashlight as it interferes with your night vision, and it interferes with exposures.
