1927 Dodge Graham with gas pumps at night, Bodie State Historic Park, California. In my presentation Complex Lighting With One Flashlight I’ll show how to create rich, complex, sophisticated lighting with just one flashlight – as I did in this photo, lighting the old truck and gas pumps from multiple angles with just one light.
August 31st is the last day to get the early-bird discount on the Nightscaper Photo Conference!
This conference, focused on night photography, takes place September 26-29 in Kanab, Utah. I’ll be making two presentations at this event: Complex Lighting With One Flashlight, and Nighttime Sequences. And I’ll be teaching alongside a stellar lineup of other presenters, including Lance Keimig, Royce Bair, Jess Santos, Matt Hill, Tim Cooper, Rafael Pons, Katrina Brown, and a bunch more. Topics include star trails, auroras, printing, panoramas, deep-space astrophotography, Photoshop selections and masks, planning with PhotoPills – too many more to list them all here, but you can see all the details on the Nightscaper website:

Until August 31st you can use the code “EarlyBird2” to get $100 off in-person tickets, or “EarlyBird2Replay” to get $25 off replays-only tickets.
If you enjoy night photography this is a conference you can’t miss, with lots of learning, networking, and camaraderie among like-minded people. It’s organized by the National Parks at Night team – a great group of people, who take night photography seriously but also know how to have fun. I’m looking forward to a great event, and I hope you can join us!
