Class description

In this photo course, you will learn how to take pictures in different lighting conditions, from sunset to blue hour to blackness of night.

 

The course schedule:

  • What could be more to Kassel than enjoying the Blue Hour at Wilhelmshöhe Palace?
  • It not only offers a unique panorama of the entire city, which becomes even more impressive with the evening lighting, but also an architectural gem with the castle.
  • We meet right in front of this castle to first brush up on the basics of photography.
  • We learn how to use the tripod (there are some small pitfalls hidden here) and look for the ideal position for our Kassel photo.
  • We learn the correct settings for long exposure and are ready for action just in time for blue hour.
  • After dark, we use the large open space in front of the castle for an easy introduction to light painting.

 

The course content:

  • Sunset features
  • Western and Eastern Blue Hour
  • Long-term photography in detail
  • Manual ISO setting and focus
  • Working with the remote shutter
  • Professional work with the stand
  • Long exposure motion blur

Very good course, I would recommend it! A few more detailed information about the “blue hour” would have been nice.
