Who this workshop is for:
Photographers interested in learning how to capture high quality wide-field astrophotography nightscape images in one of the most scenic locations in Oregon. Photographers of all experience levels welcome! I do ask that you have basic knowledge and understanding of your cameras operation outside of automatic mode. This is not a smartphone photography course. Please bring an interchangeable lens camera and a tripod. In general, wide angle to medium telephoto lenses are most suitable for this workshop. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your photography equipment or experience level don’t hesitate to contact me, I’m happy to help!
Physical requirements and safety:
Hiking coastal trails are often along or near cliff edges, which can be inherently dangerous. I do everything possible to limit risks but some simply can’t be avoided. If you are able to hike up to 1 mile per day on uneven and sometimes steep trails/terrain with your camera bag, water bottle, etc. This workshop will be within your physical abilities. You are responsible for knowing your own limits and making me aware of any health and physical concerns you may have prior to the workshop.
Once you purchase your spot on this workshop I will contact you with lodging recommendations as well as basic footwear, outwear, and equipment suggestions to ensure you will be prepared and properly equipped. A general itinerary will be provided as well but we need to remain somewhat flexible in order to best work with the conditions at hand at the time of the workshop.
