Timelapse: Valley of Fire Night-Sky Timelapse Workshop

Don’t miss Timelapse: Valley of Fire an intimate 3 and 4-day night-sky time-lapse workshop taking place this October in the Mojave Desert of Nevada.

Boston, MA (Cameratown) July 15, 2014 - TimelapseWorkshops.com announces that only a handful of spots remain for Timelapse: Valley of Fire, an intensive 3 and 4-day night-sky time-lapse workshop that focuses on teaching the skills needed to capture day and night timelapses - with a focus on the night sky.  The workshops are open to photographers and cinematographers of all skill levels.

We are also proud to announce that guest instructor Rich Harrington will be teaching post production workflow during the 3-day workshop, and motion-control timelapse expert Keith Kiska will help teach during the 4-day advanced timelapse class. Rich is a professional instructor, producer, and owner of RHED Pixel Media. Keith is owner of Kiska Media and producer of the Photo Trekker video series.

Valley of Fire State Park is home to some of the most spectacular landscapes you have ever seen.  Over 20 miles of breathtaking rainbow vistas, natural arches, stone cabins, slot canyons, wave rocks, and red-rock cliffs make this one of the most amazing destinations to capture timelapses.   

Located just 60 miles from Las Vegas, Valley of Fire State Park is easy to access, but far enough away to allow the night sky to fill with stars.  Workshop instructor Ron Risman chose this location due to the incredible red-rock landscape, dry desert weather, and dark skies. The dates of this workshop also correspond to the new moon, allowing participants the ability to capture stunning photographs and timelapses of the Milky Way using their digital SLR and an external intervalometer.

Timelapse: Valley of Fire is being offered both as a 3-day workshop for photographers looking to learn how to create professional quality timelapse sequences, and as a 4-day workshop for intermediate and advance timelapse photographers looking to take their timelapses to the next level using 1-axis, 2-axis, and 3-axis motion-control dollies from Dynamic Perception and Pan & Tilt heads from eMotimo.  The 4-day workshop is also ideal for participants of the first workshop who want to continue their education by becoming proficient with motion control gear.
