We will have at least 4 moon photography excursions during the workshop. In each excursion we will plan a shot with the moon aligned with spectacular subjects like these, or something similar:
–
All our shoots will take place around sunrise and sunset, allowing us fantastic opportunities for landscape photography in addition to shooting the moon.
For our shoots, you should expect drive times of approximately 1 hr each way.
* Depending on weather, conditions, or our ideas, we may photograph from different locations using different subjects.
Although the skies are often clear, the weather in the Eastern Sierra is unpredictable. We make no guarantees regarding clouds, clear skies, rain, sun, or moon visibility. No refunds will be given in the event the weather prevents us from photographing the moon.
Usually our shoots take place from easy-to-access roadside locations. Depending on the plans we create, there may be some short hikes up to about 15 minutes. Generally speaking the terrain will be flat and open, but there can be rocks, bushes, and uneven areas. Good balance is a must.
Payments are fully refundable within 3 days of your registration. Past this, your tuition is only refundable if we fill your space, less any discounts given to the person filling your spot.
If we cancel this class due to unforeseen circumstances, we will refund your tuition or transfer it to another class.
