We hope you will join us on one of three nights with professional landscape photographer Seth Hamel to learn how to take your own amazing photographs of the Milky Way in some of the finest night sky viewing areas in the world! Anyone with a willingness to learn can obtain the knowledge to take their own incredible Milky Way photos. These workshops are open to every level of photographer, from first time camera users, all the way up to advanced photographers. The skills taught will be catered specifically to your skill level during this hands-on, in-the-field photography workshop. No experience is necessary, and we hope that you will join us for this wonderful adventure!
This workshop is hosted in partnership with Colorado Stargazing: Experience the Night, a comprehensive stargazing resource currently promoting 10 incredible stargazing locations throughout Colorado. Among the 10 featured locations, visitors will find International Dark-Sky Association designated places, areas just starting the designation process, and everything in between. All of these communities are unified by their high elevation and low humidity, allowing for some of the best stargazing in the world. Colorado Stargazing: Experience the Night can be found on Colorado.com/ColoradoStargazing.
