During this nighttime workshop, participants have the unique opportunity to learn how to photograph- shooting on Manual Mode – the nighttime radiance of candles and lanterns in the deep blue period of civil twilight as well as Mount Vernon’s spectacular holiday fireworks over the Potomac River.
Washington Photo Safari director E. David Luria will give hands-on photography tips as well as camera techniques for fireworks photography. Participants should bring a camera with adjustable shutter speeds and apertures, a tripod and a flashlight.
This workshop takes place during “Independence Celebrations at Mount Vernon,” a special summer evening of fireworks and fun. In additional to photographing dazzling fireworks at approximately 9:30p.m., our safari will stroll through the historic area and photograph costumed interpreters demonstrating the 18th-century process of creating ice cream, colonial dancers in the Garden, sparks flying in the shop of a working blacksmith, and costumed re-enactors. We will not photograph inside the Mansion.
Be sure to register early for this special event which will give you wonderful images to share with friends and family. First-come, first-served on registration. Fee of $99 includes admission to Mt Vernon and all photographic instruction. This safari takes place rain or shine!
