March 12, 2011, Saturday - Midwest Photo Safari "Minneapolis Nights" in the Mill District, Winter 2011 Special Session

This is a Midwest Photo Safari special winter session.

Walk parts of the St. Anthony Heritage Trail and practice early evening light photography.  Learn the principles of low light settings on your digital SLR's or the various "scene" mode settings of your digital point and shoot.

The safari starts with a short presentation covering basic principles of low light/night photography. When darkness sets in, this area comes alive with interesting lights. From the Minneapolis night skyline to the great lights on the area bridges, capture stunning night images you are sure to want to frame.

This safari is best done with a digital SLR or a better quality digital point and shoot with advanced scene modes. Your Safari guide / photographer will be carrying a Sony digital point and shoot to demonstrate the techniques we will be covering. For this safari, a sturdy tripod is necessary... Midwest Photo Safari can provide pro-quality rental tripods on request. A remote shutter release is also very handy to have along, or you may use the "self timer" feature of your camera.
