WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
While the main activity will occur under the dark skies of the Central Cascades, there will be plenty of time to focus on setup, location selection and composition. After each night’s photographic capture, participants will regroup in the AM for editing sessions aimed at producing the finest image possible.
We will be based at the Iron Horse Inn in Cle Elum, Wasington about 1 and a half hours from Seattle. Participants will need their own tripod, SD card and laptop with editing software.
