Details
Our workshop begins on May 14th at 11:00 a.m. with a meet & greet, followed by our first classroom session. After we break for dinner we'll head out for our first evening of shooting. We'll carpool in no more than 4 vehicles to our evening's shoot location and will arrive well before sunset. This will offer plenty of time for in-field instruction; to shoot sunset; and to scout for a great night-sky composition. Our night shoots typically end between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. depending on location, as well as the desire of the group.

A Remarkable Night Sky Experience
Moab is not only home to Arches & Canyonlands National Park, it is also home to the stunning Dead Horse Point State Park and almost 2 million acres of breathtaking canyons, fins, and plateau's carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers. Also nearby is Goblin Valley State Park, with landscapes that are truly out of this world.
Moab features breathtaking red-rock landscapes against the snow peaked La Sal Mountain range. It is also home to some of the darkest skies in the world, and with the high desert climate (dry weather) the conditions for night-sky capture couldn't be better.
From Ron Risman
Our workshops are a place where you'll learn to capture and create breathtaking night sky photographs and time lapse films, while connecting to nature and to other photographers who share the same passion for astrophotography and time lapse.
As a photographer and educator it is a honor to be able to put together a remarkable night-sky experience for photographers from all over the world, and to see them take what they've learned and continue capturing the night sky long after the workshop has ended.. Many of these photographers come back again and again in order to rekindle that connection with our night skies, and that in itself is success for me.
