On this nighttime adventure, you'll learn how to capture the stars with long exposure techniques, explore the shoreline together and experience the magic of the night sky. 

This advanced Milky Way photography class includes a charter boat ride to and from the island, plus hands-on instruction from local astro-landscape photographer Patti Blake. You’ll need a camera, wide-angle lens, sturdy tripod and a sense of adventure!

As an advanced class, you should feel comfortable with using your camera in  manual mode, and know how to focus your lens to infinity.

Saturday night, 7:30pm - 11:30pm, $250

Limited to 5 students.
