Curriculum
This advanced course in Digital Night Photography (NPy) is held on Saturday September 26, 2009 at the historic Fort Mason Center, a cultural nexus of the San Francisco Bay Area.

This Workshop includes:
- Brief presentation on the History / Development of Digital Photography, with an emphasis on the parallel technological breakthroughs that over the years advanced the possibility of Night Photography with digital media.
- Discussion and demonstration of the different types of noise that one encounters in long exposures with Digital Cameras - random, fixed, and sensor noise - and how best to minimize their effect..
- An overview of recently published "night work," by photographers working within the digital realm.
- In addition to these areas of general interest, there is a lengthy discussion of technical considerations.

Several hours will be spent shooting the architecture, rolling hills, and waterfront areas around Fort Mason. Emphasis will be on evaluating existing lighting situations and exposing accordingly. Supplemental lighting possibilities will be discussed and demonstrated. NPy using film, as well as digital, will be discussed and compared. This is an intensive workshop limited to 12 participants who will be closely supervised on location.

Students will provide their own equipment and are expected to be familiar with basic photographic techniques, digital workflow, and at least one Photographic Post-Processing software program (PhotoShop, Lightroom, etc.). Students are encouraged to bring their own laptop computers, as well. A recommended equipment list will be provided upon receipt of registration. Accommodation assistance and tourist information is available.
