Night photography
at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
Friday, May 31, 2013(7:30 PM to 1:00 AM)
540 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, NY
We have special after hours access to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery! (Just over an hours drive from Hamden, CT). The cemetery usually closes at 4:30pm but we will be there after dark. We will meet at the gate by 7:30pm and shoot until 1:30am! You will how to control the ambient light with your long 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 ~8:13pm, but more importantly AFTER sunset, the blue hour and then the stars. We are meeting at 7:30pm 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??
- There is a bathroom on the premises
