This advanced level workshop is designed for those who are already comfortable with camera basics such as the relationship between aperture, shutter, and ISO settings. During this 8 hour day we will start out with a couple of hours of instruction / discussion / image critique in our Brant Lake office, and then will have several hours to practice techniques in the field at nearby photo locations. If it looks like good sunset conditions we'll try to find a nice location to do sunset / twilight photos as well. Sunset is about 6:10 PM. Sometimes the best conditions are 20 minutes or so after actual sunset so it could be as late as 7 PM before we are back to the office.
