The Amazing Night
Sky: Photographing after sunset and before sunrise
offers a whole new world of images and photographic
opportunities. We mistakenly think it is too dark to
photograph, but the camera can pick up the subtle light. The
seemingly infinite darkness of the night is lit by the stars
and planets. The camera picks up light from the gasses of the
Milky Way and more stars than our eyes can see. Learn how to
photograph the stars, the full moon and the crescent moon, and get tips on when to photograph them, and how to appreciate the quality
of light at night and how to use evening light in your
photographs. Twilight displays beautiful light after sunset
and before sunrise. Jennifer discusses light painting
techniques for illuminating trees, rocks and buildings,
adding another dimension to night photography. Jennifer will takeyou on a dramatic visual journey through of the night sky in
time-lapse movies. This inspiring and entertaining
presentation is a must-see for any one interested in
photographing twilight, the stars, and the moon.
