Weather conditions are factor with night sky photography. Although heavily overcast skies can block all the stars, interesting nights shots can still be made. I cannot guarantee clear skies and perfect star conditions. It is uncommon in Utah to have several days of poor conditions. Even if the skies are overcast we will go out and learn proper light painting techniques.

Workshop price: $399.00
