The Night Photo Summit online event will offer three days of dynamic presentations from 35-plus world-class photographers, authors, artists, astronomers and national park and dark-sky activists. This is their fourth year running, and it’s always worthwhile.
What is it?
National Parks at Night holds night photography workshops that provide top-shelf education both in the classroom and in the field. They are arguably the best in the world at doing so. They have invited 35+ speakers to join in the fun of their Night Photo Summit.
The speakers at this online event will include night photographers, of course. Also speaking are authors, artists, astronomers and national park and dark-sky activists. They will speak about astronomy, dark skies, creativity and of course photo techniques — both in the field and post-processing. Presentations will include beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.

Tim Little, interviewed in Photofocus previously, will be offering a class entitled “Night Flight and Moonlight: Getting Started with Long-Exposure Aerials”. In what promises to be a fascinating and unique class, he will be discussing taking night photos with drones. Him and I will be teaching a night photography workshop in Joshua Tree and Borrego Springs in June 2024.
