LLART 252 - Landscape Astrophotography

Make the night your own as you learn how to capture the Milky Way and the earthly landscapes below with your digital camera and basic gear. You'll be introduced to the basic camera functions necessary for long exposures and high ISO shooting; how to compose and focus the shot using available light; and how to illuminate the foreground. We will briefly cover how to post-process the image for maximum quality. Students will need: their own camera and tripod, a remote/ bulb shutter/interval meter, and a red/white flashlight. You will be notified where to meet for Saturday field session in advance of class.
