A one-night workshop on
full-moon night photography will be held May 17 at the Rush
Ranch Open Space. It will be taught by Tim Baskerville of
the Nocturnes.
The session will start off with a few docent-guided tours
(in daylight!) of the Ranch and the three hiking trails
surrounding it. The 2-mile marsh trail leads down to the
edge of Suisun Marsh, and the hike up Suisun Hill Trail
provides scenic vistas of the Marsh, the Ranch, and the
adjacent hills - all unique parts of this gentle, quiet
landscape.
The Ranch itself provides a wealth of interesting subjects
to photograph at night - a number of old buildings (corral,
stable, barn), plenty of old farm equipment and weathervanes.
After the tour, participants will meet in the new visitor
center for a brief introduction to Night Photography, followed
by plenty of detailed information about the evening's "shoot."
Emphasis will be on evaluating existing lighting situations
and exposing specific films accordingly.
Supplemental lighting possibilities will be discussed and
demonstrated, with an emphasis on "Light Painting"
techniques. Transparency, B&W, color negative films,
and digital will be discussed and compared. This is an intensive
workshop limited to 15 participants, |
