photography
at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
Saturday,
May 11, 2013(7:00 PM to 1:00 AM)
540 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, NY
and
receive a FREE post-processing class with Tom and Lisa ($55 value). **
We have special after hours access to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery!
The cemetery usually closes at 4:30pm but we will be there after dark. We will meet at the
gate by 7pm and shoot until 1am! This is a new moon, so you will control the
ambient light with your exposures and the local light with your flashlight.
We will spend the first part of the session going over camera
settings and tips for long exposures, light painting etc. We will be there for
sunset at 8:03pm, but more importantly AFTER sunset, the blue hour and then the
stars. We are meeting at 7pm so you have time to get your camera set up,
look at some mausoleums, sculptures, etc.
Take exposures less than 30 seconds for pinpoint stars or 1-5
minutes to capture the star trails, point your camera at the north star and get
star trails (8-60 minute exposures); light the headstones, walk among them
and be a ghost in your own image, the sky is the limit.
Things to Bring:
- dSLR
- Sturdy tripod
- Cable release (you will be shooting for more than 30 seconds so you need a cable release)
- RED Flashlight (Walmart sells them or use red cellophane or red overheads from staples and tape to flashlight)
- Small flashlight for light painting
- Water, Snack (there is a bathroom on the premises)
- Sturdy shoes (hiking boots provide good ankle support) and appropriate outdoor clothing, layers in case it gets cold, bug spray??
