Christmas City Holiday Lights

December 6 or 19 - Come and learn to get great photos in Bethlehem's beautiful, historic downtown.

See the magic of "blue hour" and how to blend twilight with city lights for dramatic results. Learn how lens choice, exposure settings, and white balance can help you create better pictures - and try out a few new tricks for fun, creative shots!

Key Topics for this session

• Capturing twilight & night scenes effectively
• Creative composition & storytelling
• Candid street scene photography
• Understanding exposure and white balance settings for challenging lighting conditions
  

Gear to consider:

• Fast (large max. aperture) lenses, f/1.8 - f/2.8
• Wide angle & telephoto lenses
• Lightweight Tripod
• Remote shutter release (if your camera has the option)

Special considerations for this outing

• Dress warmly, and in layers! We'll be outdoors for two hours at night in December. Don't forget hats and gloves.
• Wear warm, comfortable walking shoes. Wool socks aren't a bad idea either.
• Plan to keep spare batteries in an inside coat pocket, rather than your camera bag.
