LLART 146 - Night Sky Photography

Capture the beauty of the summer night sky as you gain insight into the techniques used to create stunning images of the moon and stars. Learn the camera settings, technical assistance (like Google Earth) and the post processing tricks that will help you get the most from your night sky photography. Spend a night in the classroom getting familiar with equipment, a night in the field shooting with guidance from the instructor, and then a night in the computer lab bringing out the best in your images via Photoshop. This class is for students with a working knowledge of their camera and its basic settings. Please have a DSLR with manual controls, a tripod and a remote/bulb shutter release. Other items needed for the fieldtrip will be discussed in the first class. Prerequisite: Nuts and Bolts (LLART 193), Digital Photography I (LLART 115), or take our quiz: go to www.lifelong.utah.edu or call 801-587-5433.
