The Details in the Dark: Low-Light Photography
Not everything worth photographing happens under a bright summer sun, and flashes offer mixed results (washed-out photos, harsh shadows, red eye, pet eye). In this class, you’ll learn how to use your camera settings to capture great-looking images in low light. We’ll meet indoors to discuss techniques, then go on a short photowalk around Farragut Square to try out what we’ve learned.
Bring your cameras!

Instructor
Kerrin Nishimura enjoys taking photos of anything, especially in low-light conditions and at night. (She got a lot of practice while living in Naples, Italy, for the past two years.) Kerrin volunteers with the USO as an event photographer and has had photos selected for the annual Exposed DC contest twice; both were long-exposure shots. Kerrin’s photos can be found on Flickr, Instagram, and VSCO.
