Highlights
  • Acadia National Park - On day one, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring the park, scouting potential locations for Milky Way photography such as Eagle Lake, Otter Cliff, or Jordan Pond, and taking test shots to assess lighting conditions and compositions. As evening approaches, we will set up camera gear before sunset to capture the transition from daylight to darkness, including early night sky photography practice.

On day two, after a restful morning, review your night sky shots from the previous evening and make necessary adjustments to your settings or compositions. Take advantage of the daytime to relax and explore the park. For the evening, enjoy an early dinner before heading to our chosen location for capturing the Milky Way. We’ll experiment with long exposures and compositions to capture the brilliance of the Milky Way against the dark sky.

On the final day of your astrophotography tour, we’ll head to our chosen location for capturing the night sky around sunset time. We’ll focus on creating star trail images using long exposures and sequences.

Fantastic experience to create amazing images of the night sky - I have been on this workshop not once but THREE times! The experience is amazing from the guided tours of Acadia National Park to the whole learning experience. I have learned how to photograph the Milky Way, and how to take time lapse photos of the clouds moving and the stars moving through time. I have produced panoramas of the Milky Way, multiple exposure shots of the Milky Way and how to merge photos into time lapse videos. The accommodations are close to the park and very convenient for food and shopping. Not only did I learn camera settings and tips for taking these photos but I learned post-processing editing that has made my photos the best they can be. Christopher is an expert and he has given me invaluable photography skills that apply beyond astrophotography. I highly recommend his workshops.

Amazing! - It was amazing to see the Milky Way. I was able to seen such a fantastic view with the help and guidance of Chris. Plus, the weather cooperated well. We were lucky to have clear skies without clouds on the first night. It was fun to photograph the night sky.

A truly rich and rewarding workshop - Christopher is a master at night photography, astro photography, time lapse photography, videography, landscape photography etc. He is also a great teacher. My photography skills have been elevated exponentially by Christopher and I left his workshop with many advanced photography skills and incredible images. I also enjoyed the time meeting other photographers and being out in nature.
