Misc:

Meeting Location

Our workshop will be taking place in the White Mountains. We will send more specifics to those registered leading up to the workshop date. Attendees may choose to stay at a nearby hotel overnight. If you do, consider the towns of Lincoln and Bartlett, as our spots will be in-between those locations. Conway and North Conway are further, but also options.

Regarding inclement weather
We will do our very best to control the weather each night…or at least monitor the weather leading up to the event! We have two separate days for this workshop, and if one night looks particularly improbable, you may have the opportunity to shift to a surrounding night. Again, we will monitor it leading up to the event.

Cancellations

Due to the small group size, we cannot offer refunds for cancellations made within 72-hours.

Important Notes:
If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Emily Hojnowski for a special astrophotography workshop in Central New Hampshire! This workshop will consist of two parts: An introduction to astro, presented earlier in the week, and a workshop in the field in the White Mountains.

During the introduction, Astrophotography 101- One-Shot Astro, Emily will cover everything you need to get started: brainstorming an idea, planning the shot, working in the field, and processing the image in Lightroom. All are welcome to register for this class, but the presentation is free to attend for all attending the workshop. During the in-the-field sessions, Emily will lead a small group of photographers to a fantastic view of the night sky in Central New Hampshire. While on location, we will review techniques discussed during the lecture by putting them into practice! If possible, we will also work on some light painting techniques in the field!
