SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY AT NIGHT:
GARDENFEST!

Night photography has its own set of challenges separate and apart from normal daylight photography. Fortunately, smartphones are well-equipped to handle those challenges – if we know how to take advantage of them.

This is a three-hour class beginning at 4 pm while there is still a bit of daylight left, transitioning to complete darkness by the end of class. Illumination is provided by the 2+ million lights for which Gardenfest is famous. Unlike DSLR photography, tripods are not required, though if you have one with a smartphone rig, feel free to bring it. And be sure to dress warmly!
