Registration Info
The transformation of a golden sunset to the blue light of evening is both a daily occurrence and an aesthetic mystery. During this transitional time, daylight gives way to moonlight, starlight, and the artificial lighting emitted by streetlamps and advertising. Details recede into shadows as simple shapes and forms, invisible during the day, emerge into fleeting existence. With shifting light and shadow, twilight redesigns a city, town, or rural scene.
In this online workshop, participants focus on the wealth of visual opportunities offered by this transitional time. We hone our observational skills by seeing with fresh eyes the effects of changing light on forms, shapes, reflections, and shadows. At the same time, we master technical skills related to low-light photography, such as exposure times, depth of field, camera angle, and composition.
You complete weekly photographic assignments in your home, backyard, or neighborhood. Lynn Saville leads online discussions and critiques, giving participants a chance to share their work and explore questions and insights arising from these assignments. Finally, we edit our photographs to create a memorable visual journal of this mysterious time of day.

Santa Fe Workshops always aims to produce a high-quality experience for our online attendees. That said, variables including regional and local internet provider speeds, traffic on Zoom's servers, and your own computing hardware can contribute to a less than ideal streaming event. While we do our best to minimize the impact of these variables, they are outside the control of Santa Fe Workshops.
Please Note: During the online registration process you will be asked about housing and meals. Answer no to both questions.
