Price: $25 | Max. No. People: 30 | Difficulty Level: Beginner to Intermediate Today’s outdoor photographer has many options for expanding your creativity beyond that of a simple exposure. Using techniques such as Long Exposures, both day and night, we can now make photographs that dazzle the viewer. By using strong neutral density filters in the day we can capture motion in still images. Time lapse allows us to condense time and show a view of our world that is lost to the normal observer. In this session you will learn about different options for neutral density filters and how to calculate exposure when using them. You will learn how to shoot time lapse that you process and put together as well as in camera time lapse.
