You don’t necessarily need great light to make a great photo. Understand the essential basics of night photography and tripods as you learn to manage longer exposure times (up to 30 seconds) and exposure modes and compensation; choose the right tripod style; work with wired or wireless remote shutter-release triggers; use the self-timer; and more. Students must have a camera with manual controls and their user’s guide. Having a tripod on hand is encouraged but not necessary. Open to all levels.
