Night Sky & Milky Way Photography with Carl Fredrickson

Join longtime Southeastern Photographic Society friend and experienced astrophotographer Carl Fredrickson for a presentation on capturing the wonders of the night sky. In this Learnshop you will learn essential gear and camera settings for photographing the Milky Way and star trails, as well as how to plan shoots (including moon phases, light pollution awareness, and useful apps such as PhotoPills or Stellarium). Carl will also cover composition, focusing, and exposure techniques, post-processing tips for night images, and time-lapse basics. This is a great opportunity for beginners to intermediates—especially in the Southeast where good dark skies are accessible within a short drive. Carl will share real-world examples from his years of Milky Way and night sky shoots.

SPS has three standing meetings each month for its members and guests. The First Friday meeting features an outside speaker and a members’ image competition. While competition entries at these monthly meetings are restricted to currently paid-up members, we ALWAYS welcome visitors interested in photography to attend. The Learnshops (fourth Tuesdays) and Coffee & Critique (second Saturdays) are intended for members, but again, we welcome visitors. If you attend regularly, we ask that you help support the club (which pays for the rental of the facilities, supplies, and equipment) by becoming a member!

Signing up on the SPS Meetup page does not make you an SPS member. SPS members pay dues to engage in many activities that are unavailable to guests who only sign up on the SPS MeetUp.
