What This Trip Was

Build your landscape photography and backpacking skills, and learn to plan Milky Way photos around the weather, moon phase and night-sky conditions.

A two-day trip built for photographers with a foundation in the basics and a desire to learn astrophotography while going deeper into the wilderness than a night hike allows.

What It Covered
  • Astrophotography technique from a working night photographer
  • Planning a shoot around moon phase, weather and location
  • Hiking and camping safely in the dark
  • Backpacking with camera gear
