Curriculum
This special introductory Night Photography Workshop will be held on date TBA from 8pm to 11pm at Yerba Buena Gardens, in SOMA's Museum District.

This workshop is for people who would like to learn how to better photograph after dark, with either digital cameras or film, in an urban enivronment. Workshop participants will utilize a mix of moonlight, existing artificial light sources, and supplemental lighting. These will be relatively short exposures, mostly illuminated by streetlight and ambient light. A follow-up session to view images, prints or transparencies, critique work, and problem-solve can be arranged, depending on participant interest.

Emphasis will be on evaluating existing lighting situations and exposing accordingly. Transparency, b/w, color negative films, as well as digital will be discussed and compared. This is an intensive workshop limited to 15 participants who will be closely supervised on location.

Supplemental lighting possibilities will be discussed and demonstrated, with an emphasis on "Light Painting" techniques, where appropriate. Students provide their own equipment and should be familiar with basic photographic techniques. A basic, 'low-tech' equipment and film list for digital and film cameras, as well as a pre-workshop questionnaire, and meeting details for the Workshop will be provided upon registration
