Landscapes, Fireworks and the Full Moon with Carl Heilman II. #994-0818.

Thursday nights during the summer months offer fun opportunities to photograph fireworks exploding above beautiful Lake George, plus sunset colors, star filled skies, and photographing lights around the village or in nearby towns. In addition, the August 18th tour is just before full moon, offering additional opportunities during this particular tour to photograph the moon rising over the lake, and night scenes under the moonlight. The class will start at 5:00 pm with a very brief introduction and discussion, with the rest of the evening in the field experimenting with various photo techniques at nearby lakes and waterways. This nature photography tour is designed for those who are already comfortable with camera basics such as the relationship between aperture, shutter, and ISO settings. A great class for those who wish to receive mentoring while in the field.
 
NOTE:  Equipment requirements include: a DSLR and/or full featured point and shoot camera (preferably with screw-on filter capability), a sturdy tripod, and a remote release. In addition, bring along your widest angle lenses (shortest focal lengths), longer focal length zooms (that can be used with extension tubes), macro lenses, extension tubes, tele-extenders, and close-up diopters you have in your camera bag.
