Defining Your Style of Night Photography
What type of night photographer are you? That's funny you should ask. Last night, Matt and I were checking into our hotel here in Seattle, and the concierge was like, "What are you guys here for, what do you do?" We're like, "Well, we're night photographers." He's like, "What," no idea what a night photographer is. We're like, "You know, images "of the Milky Way, or the star trails." He's, "Oh, yeah, I've seen those." I'm like, 'Well, I know you don't see them much in Seattle, "but the city, it has a pulse, "it has a beat, it has movement. "There's cars, there's clouds, there's other ways "that we can play with long exposures there." Then, he started to say, "Is this night photography? "How about, oh the urban explorer type "of night photography?" Yep, that's a type of night photography. He saw a movie with a time lapse in it. Yeah, that's another type of night photography as well. What type of night photographer are you? Are you an urban explorer, are you a scout? Are you a stargazer,...
are you a cityscaper? Or, are you just a travel photographer wanting to take better pictures once the sun goes down?

This class was perfect in preparation for my trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon next week. I can't wait to put all this great information to good use! Very easy to understand, and fun to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This class was super helpful in what to buy and then how to get the pictures you want. Loved all the other stuff that I knew nothing about. I knew very little about light painting. Thanks for sharing this class with us. This class was one of the best I have seen.

This course is fairly comprehensive, and offers a good intermediate/advanced intermediate examination of night photography (NOT just astrophotography, which is only one form of night photography.) I don't necessarily agree with everything he's saying here, but that doesn't make it wrong - it's just a matter of preference. He is fairly equipment-centric, but getting into many forms of night photography DOES require some specific equipment. There's a lot of useful information contained here, and I can see myself consulting this course in the future to help solve and understand certain situations and problems that are unique to night photography. Recommended.
