Night Photography (Online Class)
Bird Alliance of Oregon presents:
Night Photography
From snakes to owls to the aurora borealis, there are many incredible subjects in nature that are best found and photographed after dark. But since light is the essence of photography, taking pictures after sunset requires you to make some crucial decisions about how to get around this hurdle. When is it best to use artificial light, like a flash? When is it better to use a long shutter speed?
In this webinar, we will discuss everything you need to confidently make pleasing images at night: equipment, lighting, camera settings, and planning, as well as the ethics of photographing certain subjects in the dark.

Meet the Instructor
Brian Magnier
My name is Brian Magnier, and I live in La Grande, Oregon. I studied ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University and got a Master of Professional Science degree in Exploration Science at the University of Miami. As was the case for so many people, birds were the gateway to my passion for wildlife. I have been an avid birder since elementary school and a nature photographer for almost as long.
I have been fortunate to be able to travel the world both for pleasure and for academic research. I have done fieldwork on mammals and insects in Alaska and New York and on birds in Borneo and Papua New Guinea. I have journeyed to Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Sweden, and Iceland, photographing wildlife in dense jungles and rugged deserts. I have led hiking and kayaking tours in Alaska and snorkel tours in Belize and Indonesia. I aim to inspire people to get outside, talk a walk, flip over some logs, and take a closer look at the world around them. I now live in La Grande, Oregon, where I can often be found wandering through deserts and forests, camera in hand, to find everything from birds to fungi to fossils.
