Night Photography - Skyline & Bridges
Shoot. Learn. Enjoy Portland.
Learn how to shoot at night! Some of the most amazing images are captured in the evening. Start by photographing the deep blues of "magic hour" and the Portland City Skyline. Next, shoot the dramatic lights of Portland's bridges. Take postcard quality photos at night without flash! Perfect for beginner to advanced hobbyist.
We will also practice a technique called "slow shutter sync", teaching you how to take awesome snapshots in low light with a flash. Also reviewed, a technique called "painting with light" in which a flashlight is used to illuminate your subject instead of a camera flash. F-stops and shutter speeds, as well as other photography basics, are briefly reviewed.
There will be a 20 min lesson before setting up tripods and practicing what you've learned.
