Learn how to create dynamic photographs of the night sky, Milky Way, and stars. Professional photographer Steve Giardini will teach you exposure techniques, the planning process, and best editing practices. This course is designed for photography enthusiasts who understand basic camera operations and exposure controls. Students must have the following equipment for this course: digital camera with interchangeable lenses. A wide-angle lens and tripod are essential, and a portable computer or tablet with an Adobe Lightroom or equivalent photo editing software subscription. Contact the instructor if you have questions. The field session will take place near Sparks Lake along the Cascade Highway. To capture night sky photos, the sky must be mostly clear. Since there is no guarantee that the sky will be clear on the scheduled field session night, two alternate nights have been scheduled. Students must self-transport to field session(s).
