Jack will also review some basic astronomy information that will help you plan and capture images of the stars. The goal of this class is for you to leave with the knowledge and ability to shoot the stars on your own!\nDuring the In-the-Field session\, Jack will lead a small group of photographers to one of the darkest locations on the East Coast\, Acadia National Park. Under these incredible dark skies\, Jack will review techniques discussed during the introduction by putting them into practice.\nAfter the workshop\, we will regroup for an online critique session\, recorded if you cannot attend live. \nWhat You Will Learn \n\nWe will meet on location with time to scout and plan compositions.\nJack will share his personal approach to how he would plan an entire night to maximize his time shooting and ensure that he leaves with images he is excited about.\nThe night will begin chasing as many Milky Way compositions and shooting techniques as possible and end with time to shoot star trails.\n\nWhat You Should Bring \n\nA DSLR or Mirrorless Camera with manual settings\nA fast aperture lens\nExtra batteries (2 or more) and memory cards (64gb+)\nA sturdy tripod\nShutter Release / Intervalometer\nRed light equipped headlamp\, the red light will be less harsh on our eyes and help keep night vision intact!\nWarm clothing – Dress in layers to help stay warm\nWear decent hiking shoes/boots to manage the terrain\nWater/Snacks\n\nSIGMA LOANER GEAR!\nWe will also have a selection of SIGMA lenses for attendees to use during the location outings each night. These lenses are EXTREMELY useful\, as you will be able to utilize some of the best glass in ideal situations! Please note: If you are using Canon R mounts\, make sure to bring an adapter. \n  \nAbout Jack Fusco\n \nJack Fusco is a professional landscape astrophotographer / timelapser. What began as a way purely to document his travels as a touring musician\, photography has become his main form of creative expression. \nOn his often-sleepless journey\, he strives to share the wonder of the night sky with as many people as possible. Whether chasing the Milky Way along coast lines or capturing the Northern lights in unforgiving remote locations you’re sure to find him coffee in hand\, smiling up at the stars. \nMany of Jack’s images are often planned days\, weeks\, or even months in advance while waiting for weather and celestial objects to align. The resulting work shows a true and complete dedication to his craft. \nHis work has been featured by National Geographic\, TEDx\, LA Times\, NASA APOD\, BBC\, Forbes and many more. \nMore info on Jack can be found at his website\, Instagram\, Facebook\, and Twitter. \nWho should sign up?\nAnyone is welcome to attend this workshop\, but it is generally recommended that attendees have a general understanding of exposure\, aperture\, shutter speed\, and ISO for this workshop. \nRegarding inclement weather\nWe will do our very best to control the weather each night…or at least monitor the weather leading up to the event! If one night looks particularly improbable\, you may have the opportunity to shift to a surrounding night. Again\, we will monitor it leading up to the event. \nRegarding Lodging\nDue to the late finish\, you may consider staying in a local hotel. We do not have any agreements with local hotels\, but Bar Harbor\, Northwest Harbor\, Southwest Harbor\, and North Mt Desert Island have a number of hotel and cottage options available on the Mount Desert Island. Towns just off the island\, such as Ellsworth\, offer more affordable rates within a 30-minute drive.  \nOne last note\nThere are two date options for the in-the-field portion of the workshop\, so please make sure to register for the correct day.
