Safari/Workshop: Includes lunch with drinks (Grimaldi’s Pizzeria – Brooklyn)

After dark: Cities and buildings take on a completely different look and the images will add an extra dimension to your collection. The best time to photograph is around 10 or 20 minutes after sunset. By then the incandescent lighting provided by interior, spot and streetlights will be the dominant light source, but there’ll still be some light and color in the sky. When it’s completely dark, concentrate on filling the frame with well-lit subjects and avoid large areas of unlit space. Night photography requires a tripod and cable release, as exposures are generally long. To record detail, overexpose by one or two stops – otherwise the only thing that will come out will be the light themselves. As with all difficult lighting situations bracketing is recommended.

Students may work in digital media or film (black-and-white or color). All formats are welcome.
Starts promptly at 2:00pm and will be cancelled only in case of severely inclement weather. Meet at the entrance of South Street Seaport (Pier 17), 19 Fulton Street (near NY Water Taxi departure); take the Subway: A, C, 2, 3, 4, 5 to Fulton Street / Broadway Nassau, Manhattan, New York City. The safari / workshop ends at Brooklyn waterfront (Pier 12).
Safari: Limited to 12 people

Note: Proceeds (fee) will go directly towards helping the white-clad widows, the forbidden “out-caste” and the untouchable eunuchs, shunned as members of the “third sex” by the Indian society. All collected money will be donated to a non-profit organization consisting of volunteers interested in dedicating their expertise and time to fight a wide variety of social injustices in India.
