SUMMARY:2024 Solar Eclipse Photography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!\nJoin landscape photographer James Staddon on a photographic workshop that will help you prepare for and photograph the April 8\, 2024 total solar eclipse. With experience in photographing the 2017 total solar eclipse\, James will help give you an excellent chance of photographing the last total eclipse visible from the US until 2045. \nThe evening before\, we will begin with intense classroom training\, reviewing exactly what will happen the next day during the 6 preciously short\, photographic minutes of partiality and totality. Understand the camera settings necessary to photograph totality at it’s best\, the Diamond Ring\, the Ring of Fire\, Bailey’s Beads\, and the incredible solar prominences of hydrogen gas that are not visible to the naked eye.  In the morning\, we’ll scout locations for wide angle shots\, test our equipment\, and then practice\, practice\, practice for the moments of totality. When the show is over\, we will gather back together to learn various methods of merging and editing the photos we just took for the best presentation of our best shots! \nWhat’s Included\n\n\nSolar Eclipse viewing glasses \n\n\n\n\nHomemade solar filter for one lens \n\n\nTons of one-on-one instruction from James Staddon \n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nSunday\, 7:30-9:00pm – Eclipse photography training \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, 8:00-9:00am – Scouting\, testing\, and practice \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, 11:30am-12:15pm – Setup and practice \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, 12:15-2:00pm – Photographing eclipse \n\n\nMonday\, 2:00-3:30pm – Photo editing \n\n\nItems to Bring\n\n\nA sturdy tripod (An aluminum or carbon fiber professional tripod with a ball head is strongly recommended.

You can request to rent a DDSLR camera from Lenspiration here.) \n\n\n\n\nAt least 2 camera batteries (and a charger). \n\n\n\n\nA telephoto lens (A focal length of at least 200mm\, ideally 400mm\, is required if you want close-up shots of the eclipse. A telephoto lens is not required\, however.
