Have you been intrigued by photos taken at night? The colors, tones and atmosphere look amazing! This 6 session course will get you started on night photography and will guide you through proper exposure, settings, equipment (digital or film), tools, and post-processing as it relates to night photography, as well as practical aspects of shooting in cold weather. You will learn about different lighting situations from bright urban to full moon, light painting, and star trails. We will go out photographing together and by end of the course you will have made a few magical images of your own. Students are required to come to the first class as a lot of important technical information will be covered.

Tools needed: Camera with bulb mode, tripod, cable release. Please bring camera manual with you. We will use the book Night Photography: Finding your way in the dark by Lance Keimig, and it will be available for purchase during the first class.

Instructor: Nora Vrublevska is a Cambridge based fine art photographer who mainly focuses on night photography. She has been a teaching assistant to Lance Keimig's Night Photography class at New England School of Photography and exhibits her work throughout New England.
