Low Light Group Subscription

Posted May 1st 2019

This email is for the folks who have signed up for notices about the Low Light Photo Group

I'll be doing a software demo with Luminar 3 and Aurora HDR 2019 and how those fit into my workflow for editing photos.

The photo theme for this meeting is "Looking for the Dark in all the Light places". Bring up to 5 jpg images on a thumb drive or memory card. Please have only those images on the device or in a folder that has only those images.

Milky Way Field Trip - North Jetty Beach - Photographing the Milky Way isn't as tough as it seems. It just requires the right equipment and patience. Foto Dono will be hosting a field trip to North Jetty Beach to photograph the Milky Way. Trying to photograph at that location does have it's challenges, mainly because of light pollution. However most of the shooting will be at the beach. The main goal for the field trip is to provide an experience in creating a single shot exposure or multiple exposures for stacking of the night sky. These images will then need to be rendered in post with Lightroom, Photoshop or other editing software. We will meet in the parking lot next to the restroom. The address is 1000 South Casey Key Road. May 4th at 3:30 AM - Fee: $49.

Low Light Excursion - Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park - You don't need expensive photo gear or a telescope to photograph the stars at night.
