Shooting in the Dark: Low Light and Long Exposure Photography

Most photographers know what to do on a clear evening at golden hour but learning how to work with what little light is available or creating your own is a whole different ball game.
This class will teach you how to get good photos in any low light situation, with and without the use of lighting equipment. We’ll talk about how to deal with high ISO and the associated degradation of image quality. We’ll also get into the best kinds of lenses to use for different low light situations and other associated gear.
What to bring:

• SLR or mirrorless camera
• Flashlight or headlamp
• Laptop for downloading photos

Recommended:

• Tripod
• As many lenses as you have
• Remote 
• Basic understanding of exposure settings (ISO, aperture, and shutter speed)

Optional:

• Speedlight or other external flash
• Anything else that makes light: glow sticks, rave toys, etc.
  The class will be held in the upstairs of an old building with no elevator. If you have mobility issues, please reach out before you sign up. We have a solution but I’ll send you details first.
