Moose Peterson Workshop: Touching the Sky

Join Precision Camera and Nikon for a special two-day lecture and shooting experience with legendary photographer and Nikon Ambassador Moose Peterson.
---------------------
It’s a foggy morning — it always seems to be at Spanhoe Field in Northhamptonshire, England — as the crews are driven to their aircraft. The men of the 315th had done this before but it never seems routine. As the crews warmed up their Dakotas, the reality of the day’s mission pressed on them just moments before the tires of their warplanes left the Earth. At this historic reenactment it really feels like 1944. If you worked your magic and skill with your camera, that story you tell in your 2021 photograph takes the viewer back in time with the same power!
Who doesn’t look up when they hear the sound of a plane? There is something about flight that grabs our imagination. Aviation photography is the most adrenaline-rich and action-packed thrill ride to ever expose a pixel! The speed, sounds and smells are intoxicating and when combined with that image in your camera, you are hooked! Here starts the challenge of sharing this experience with others through your photography.
---------------------
LECTURE: FRIDAY, MARCH 5 FROM 6 TO 8 P.M. AT PRECISION CAMERA - $29
We’ll host a Friday evening lecture in the Precision Camera classroom. Photography is all about writing with light and this process takes on a whole new level of difficulty with aircraft. Getting in the air to photograph aircraft is the ultimate goal, and getting there is easier than you think! Join Precision Camera, Nikon and Moose Peterson as we brief you on all you need to know for your aviation photography to take off.
WE'LL DISCUSS:
The essentials — history, camera gear, autofocus settings and exposure — that we’ll cover are a must. But then we get into aircraft, working with static buildings, ground to air images and finally the air to air experience. This all leads us to bringing motion to our still images, romance to pieces of steal and telling a story the grabs the attention of our viewers.
---------------------
