This workshop is about the art of night photography.  This photography adventure will unlock the mysteries of how to create amazing night photography when the only light is stars and planets and the Milky Way! I will show you how to get photos that you can't see but your camera can capture.

I have a great new location for this workshop! It has a lake, beautiful  mountains, lots of great nature to paint with light and a big sky filled with stars, planets, the Milky Way and the incredible things to light paint.  

The plan
After a short drive from Calgary, this secret location we will shoot the sunset, then capture the Blue Hour and then the starry night sky-free of light pollution- as we sip hot chocolate, other drinks and tasty treats. A bit of a nocturnal photography party. Party with the stars:)

We will be outdoors in a beautiful place with no people besides us and lots of space!
