Shoot for the Stars –Techniques to Improve your Astro-landscape Photography

Photographing at night has challenges and opportunities that just don’t exist for the regular landscape photographer.  Join Peter Baumgarten for this how-to seminar that will help you create impressive night sky images.  Starting with a look at the basics of shooting at night, you will also discover low level lighting techniques, live composite star trails, the value of time lapse sequences, photo stacking to reduce noise, and the creation of surreal time-blend images.

Peter is a professional photographer and educator living on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario and he will be joining us via Zoom. He regularly leads photography courses and workshops for novice and enthusiast photographers and travels across North America as an Olympus Visionary providing lectures and seminars on landscape, wildlife, and astrophotography. His work has been published in a number of magazines in both Canada and the U.S. and has been recognized for excellence on a number of photography websites. Peter is an avid outdoor enthusiast with a passion for wilderness camping, canoeing and kayaking.
