Night Photography

Learn to gauge long exposures in locations illuminated by artificial light, as well as by the light of the full moon, for beautiful photographs of the world at night. Emphasis will be on evaluating existing lighting and exposing accordingly. Some classes will be on location at places like the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the Presidio and the Marin Headlands.
The class is limited to 12 students and is not for beginning photographers. You must know how to use your specific (preferably manual) camera and have a firm grasp of the basic concepts of photography. Digital cameras (with full manual override) are acceptable for most of the fieldwork.

Tim Baskerville, BFA, has been teaching photography classes at U.C. Berkeley Extension and U.C. Santa Cruz Extension and at Pacific Media Arts since 1998.
