Nature Revealed Photography, Tours, Workshops and Fine Art by Jeff Jessing
Arches National Park in the Darkness of Night
"One of the Best Locations on Earth for Nighttime Photography"
October 11-14, 2012
This unique photo tour is your opportunity to learn how to approach and manage low-light, long exposure digital photography in one of the best nighttime setting on our planet. You will spend three night with Jeff learning techniques and photographing the amazing landscape of Arches National Park in the darkness of night. You will learn how to make stunning long-exposures of the night sky yielding spectacular landscapes with stair-trails in the the background. You will also make breathtaking images of the Milky Way star fields with spires and arches of sandstone in the foreground. Additionally, you will learn Jeff's creative techniques to paint the landscape with artificial sources of light.
This trip corresponds with the darkness of a new moon sky. Many of the locations are roadside or require a short walk to deliver us to our nighttime locations. As is true for all of Jeff's tours, you can not only expect to have photographic opportunities be maximized but you will also get significant time with learning Jeff's post-processing techniques. For the entire tour we will be based out of Moab.
