Low Light Friday Nights

You know you've been waiting for this - here's the official announcement!

I'm starting a Fourth Friday Low Light event. You'll learn how to do amazing things like:

• Beat your camera's internal light meter into submission
• How to get vivid colors at night
• Stopping motion (for fast things, like water drops and bullets)
• Blurring motion (a/k/a dragging the shutter)
• Feel confident using all of those "little used buttons" that you've been dying to master

What you'll need to succeed:

• KNOW YOUR CAMERA AND MANUAL. Learn where all of the modes are selected and what the buttons do and where they are, even if you don't understand what they do. I'm a Nikon guy - don't ask me for Canon / Sony / Leica advice. :-)
• A stable tripod. We want stability here, not wishy-washy-wobbles.
• Neutral Density Filters for the lenses you will be using. It's like Bogart once said: “You'll need them. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”

I will send out details to the attendees as we get closer to the event date - this allows me to pick out a fun spot to play. And when it gets too hot to go out, we can possibly reserve a classroom somewhere and do indoor things, like the famous water droplets and the like. So for now, I've selected the Rowlett DART station, but that's not where we're going to be going!
