- **Event Name**: JOSHUA TREE - a night photography & light painting workshop in Joshua Tree CA
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Joshua Tree Workshop Canceled (NPS Rule Change)

Jeff and I are incredibly disappointed to announce the cancellation of our Joshua Tree light painting workshop.  Full refunds will be issued immediately.

Effective as of January 1st, 2026, The National Parks Service (NPS) has changed its 2026 rules to prohibit artificial lighting for all permitted photography workshops. Locations are also now restricted, making light painting virtually impossible.

Apologies to those who had planned on making this workshop a part of your 2026.  It has been a very unexpected turn of events by National Parks and we hope the NPS reverses this decision.

We hope you will join us at other upcoming light painting workshops.  Please check out https://www.imaginoor.com/workshop

Jeff and Shehab


Experience a unique three-night nocturnal photography workshop at Joshua Tree National Park from March 12–15, 2026, led by experts Jeff McCrum and Shehab Hossain.

The park offers pristine Bortle scale 2 dark skies perfect for capturing the Milky Way. Participants will explore the desert's iconic landscapes (Joshua trees, Cholla cactus, pioneer relics) to practice light painting techniques using various handheld lights and orbs for stunning foregrounds.

The comprehensive curriculum includes:

Photography Techniques: Capturing star trails, high ISO star points, working without moonlight, and understanding stellar movement.

Post-Production: Star stacking, denoising, and combining stacked images.

Advanced Skills: Creating night panoramas, "Little Planets," and using creative reflections.

This workshop is a deep dive into the art and science of nightscape photography, equipping you with skills to capture captivating night images globally.
