With Harold Davis

Night covers the globe half the time and—surprising to many—
photographic opportunities with digital equipment are as exciting
at night as they are during the day. Night photography has always been an area for creative experimentation, but with the advent of digital
photography, and its expanded dynamic range and light sensitivity beyond the
visible spectrum, the time has never been better to experience the
freedom of the night. Harold will cover techniques, equipment, and night safety
issues during an orientation session before moving outdoors, where we will create night-time captures. In the morning, we will regroup to demystify digital post-processing of night captures in Photoshop and to evaluate our work in the context of personal creative goals. A second night shoot gives participants the opportunity to put into practice the night skills they have learned. We will learn to make beautiful images of the landscape after sunset, and take advantage of the extraordinary night environment and absence of light pollution within Pt. Reyes. You’ll go home with great images and skills to capture night photos while the rest of the world sleeps. Accommodations included at the Education Center (see page 29.)
