Light Up The Night In Orange County – December 21
A long exposure is when a camera takes one image continuously for a chosen amount of time. To enable a camera to do this, the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed must set appropriately to get the right exposure. They all play a part in controlling the exposure of images. Additionally, when a long exposure photo is being shot at night, any moving source of light appears on the image as a trail of light.
Learn to master long exposure techniques for stunning night shots and understand the fundamentals of composition, framing, and exposure settings. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, this workshop is designed to enhance your night photography skills.

Santa Monica Pier Sunset Shoot – January 10
The Santa Monica Pier is home to a world of entertainment, from carousel rides to shopping to arcades. But it is also an amazing place for photographers to experiment, sharpen their skills, and capture beautiful evening photographs. Join your Digital Photo Academy instructor to photograph the sunset over the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Pier at sunset. You should bring your DSLR or another type of camera that you use, a fully-charged battery, and the equipment that you can carry. It would be helpful to bring a tripod if you have one to utilize long exposures, though you will also learn other means to steady your camera without a tripod.
