In this 4-hr class, learn the techniques and nuances of long exposure photography. We’ll cover exposure settings, looking for and predicting patterns, making long exposures in direct sunlight, in shade, late afternoon, and night, and we’ll spend time practicing the technique while photographing in the field. You’ll need a camera with manual exposure capability and a tripod. Optional equipment: remote shutter release, polarizer filter, full neutral density (ND) filters (ND filters will be available for you to use).

At the end of this class you will know and understand the set up, exposure, and nuances of long exposure photography, how to assess the scene in front of you, and arrange the important elements in the scene to create a visually interesting photograph.
