Reston Photographic Society’s May 19th meeting will be held on Zoom and welcomes Jurgen Lobert
Introduction to Night Photography
This is a visual and technical introduction to night photography by Massachusetts-based fine art photographer Jürgen Lobert. Jürgen will show how to create nightscapes, hauntingly beautiful views of captured time and deepened colors. Night photography transforms the familiar and can create exciting lightscapes, revealing beauty in the mundane.
Night images relay a profound serenity by capturing time, where clouds and cars become streaks, water ripples smooth over and stars form trails in the sky. Many night photos require a balance of highlights from a multitude of sources and deep shadows, which becomes a rewarding challenge needing different approaches compared to naturally moonlit scenes.
Jürgen will show many examples of what can be photographed, vantage points and how to capture motion. The presentation will also provide technical details on equipment, camera settings, white balance, sources of light and tips for processing your images.
