Learn to capture the Milky Way over the red rocks of Sedona on this a 3 night in-depth workshop covering the techniques for planning, capturing, and editing photos of the galaxy core. Workshop includes 3 nights shooting from sunset to stars in stunning red rock locations with a local professional photographer as your guide. Dive into post processing techniques in group and one on one editing sessions designed to help you develop your personal style in astrophotography.

Covering all aspects of nightscape photography from basic single exposures to stacking, tracking, and creating blue hour composites. Open to all levels regardless of experience, these workshops are small and intimate, allowing for lots of personal instruction for each participant.

All guests should arrive in time to meet at the first shoot location 2 hours before Sunset. Our first evening we shoot the sunset over the famous Cathedral Rock. We will watch the light change through the twilight hours and practice taking blue hour images for foreground composites. Not sure what that means? Don't worry, we'll teach you!

As the stars come out we will cover the basics of creating sharp, in focus single exposures of the Milky Way, and begin to cover more advanced techniques such as stacking, as well as an introduction to shooting time lapse sequences.

Time: 6 hours

This afternoon we gather for a group editing session where your instructor breaks down the complete workflow for importing, organizing, editing, and publishing nightscape photography. Techniques and workflows demonstrated using Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, and Starry Landscape Stacker, but are applicable to other software suites as well.

After our editing session we break for dinner before meeting up for our second on location sunset to stars shoot. Tonight will focus on shooting panoramas, time lapses, stacking, and the basics of using a star tracker.

Time: 3 Hours in afternoon Editing Workshop, 6 hours in field shooting.

Today schedule a one on one review with your instructor to go over your images, discuss editing techniques, and find your growth edges in nightscape photography. These sessions are open to your specific level and interests, and are designed to help you maximize your growth as a photographer and the development of your personal style.

We meet as a group for one last night of shooting in the field to use all the skills we've gained to capture our best night sky images over Sedona!
