: Night Photography

Night photography is one of the more technically challenging areas for new photographers (and even for the old hands). Tonight's meeting will attempt to demystify some of this "dark art".

Our program director has decided we will do this in a "members teaching members" format to share some of the knowledge locked up in our members' heads.

If members have images that are somehow related to night photography we will be selecting a few for presentation as well. Some topic areas to get you thinking: city scapes, building lights, star trails, astrophotography, streets at night, fireworks, flames or other moving lights, holiday lights, low light portraits, painting with light, "ghost" photos, .......

In Preparation:
  • Members may submit up to 2 digital images (sorry, digital only this meeting -- if you have prints or slides, you will have to get them scanned). Please email them to photos@nwphoto.org. Size them to fit a 1024x768 frame.
    We will try to get to all images, but time may limit us. Primarily we'll be looking for images that can be used to illustrate the specific points of night photography.

Agenda: (subject to change)
  • BTGS#5 - A Shot in the Dark (Derek Carlin):

    An abbreviated "Beyond the Green Square" session. Derek will introduce newer photographers who maybe haven't tried night photography yet to some of the challenges that face the aspiring nightstalker. The samples and discussions from other members will complete this overview of shooting at night.

  • Practice Makes Perfect (Mike Hindle):

    Mike is leading an impromptu night photography practice session on saturday Nov. 8th (if you didn't get his email with time and location, contact him at outings@nwphoto.org)

    He will show images from that session shot by himself and the members who show up.

    This will be used to start a discussion of issues members are having in their work and will seque nicely into Peter's guided discussion later in the meeting.

  • Sunset to Sunrise -- Keith's Way (Keith Griffiths):

    Vice president Keith (also president of Burnaby Photographic Society) Will take us into a more detailed look at night subjects using his own body of work as an example.

  • Urban Nights (Shona LaFortune):

    Our Theme Director, CAPA-certified judge, and long time photographer Shona will tell us about taking her love of urban and street photography to the "dark side".

    How to shoot urban scenes at night: what equipment to use, techniques available to you, and some ideas for composition to get you started.

  • Night Photography - a guided discusssion (Peter Ellis):

    Using his own work plus images that you submit, Peter will round out the evening leading a discussion on particular subjects, problems encountered, and how to over come them.
