Would you like to make some great photos of the night sky? Join Ron Risman and me in Las Vega, NV for a timelapse workshop. The event is being held in conjunction with this year's NAB conference. This is a chance to capture breathtaking time lapse sequences. This hands on workshop will let you capture both day and night time lapses in one of the most beautiful locations in Nevada.
Night Sky Time-Lapse Field Workshop
- Fri. April 15|
- 11:00 AM - 3 AM
- Cost $545
The workshop is open to photographers and cinematographers of all skill levels. This day-long adventure lets you get some great shooting in before a busy NAB. Explore a scenic ghost town and make beautiful images of the night sky.
You'll learn how to shoot challenging sequences like sunsets and night sky shadow lapses lit only by the waxing moon. The park officially closes at sunset, but we have special permission to stay in the park and continue shooting after dark.
