Join us for this exclusive and exciting opportunity to photograph the full moon rising over the lighted Capitol Columns.
We’ll start the class by capturing the Capital Columns bathed in the warm golden light of late afternoon. Then after sunset, we'll see a beautifully colored sky. Later as the moon rises, we’ll frame it among the columns and then overtop of them. This is a very unique opportunity so don’t wait too long to register.
Recommended Equipment:
A per person donation to the National Arboretum is included in the price of the class.
Prerequisite: Students should have an understanding of exposure controls and be somewhat familiar with their camera.
