  • Night Sky Photography Series with Bernhard Wunder - ONLINE

    Night sky photography sits at a rare crossroads of craft and wonder. It asks for technical precision—focus in the dark, exposure math, patience with gear and nature—but it rewards us with something deeper: a slowed heartbeat, a sharpened sense of place, and a renewed relationship with the sky above us. This genre is gaining popularity in the photography community, and it is an exciting field where individuals can still distinguish themselves. This workshop series will explore equipment requirements, planning steps, camera settings as well as post processing techniques for various topics: Night Landscapes, Moon, Milky Way, Star Trails, as well as Deep Sky Objects (nebulae and galaxies). Each session is a complete workshop, so feel free to register independently for each topic of interest. If you own or are thinking about purchasing a D-SLR or mirrorless digital camera, and a wide angle lens this class is for you! The only requirement is that you have a general interest in photography, a camera that can operate in manual mode, and the willingness to explore imaging software on a computer. This is a virtual 5-session workshop. A Zoom invitation will be sent prior to the start of each session. Enjoy star gazing!
