Night Photography

Mark Bowie recently led an awesome night photography workshop for NHCC. Mark does lead workshops. I went on one with him in Lake Placid and it was great, he is a wonderful teacher and his images are stunning, motivating and inspiring! Some of his workshops are thru the Adirondack Photography Institute
and they offer a 10% Camera Club registration Discount to some camera club members, including NHCC.

I came across this list of references from http://www.thenocturnes.com/index.html
