The City at Night Photography Meetup

Sunday 02 April

Clinton Square, Syracuse NY - 7pm - 2 Hours

Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun. In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

This event was great! It exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to participate in another meetup. Daniel's teaching style was right up my alley. Even though I am a novice when it comes to working with my camera I had a lot of fun. Would 100% recommend taking a class with Daniel!

This was the best class I have had so far with your organization. The instructor was very knowledgeable and offered individual hands on instruction. He took the time to explain camera usage for those that were new to photography and demonstrated different camera setting scenarios. I would definitely take another class with him.

I thought that Al aspects of this training were excellent. It incorporated the key elements that makes a training excellent: 1) A trainer who can put trainees at ease. 2) A trainer who is knowledgeable & passionate about the subject. 3) The subject matter is presented in a fun and understandable way. 4) The opportunity to learn and then apply the subject matter. 5) The opportunity to practice what was learned. 6) Have all questions answered in a nonjudgmental fashion.

Daniel Michaels

Photography is not just a job to me, it is a passion, a way of life, some may even say, it is an obsession. Very rarely will you see me without a camera over my shoulder. My passion for the art of photography started way back in high school. Since that time I have devoted my life to creating images and teaching. I do not limit myself to the studio, I also shoot street photography and an occasional wedding.

After high school I moved to Atlanta GA to study photography at the Portfolio Center and later at the Art Institute of Atlanta. During this time I started to assist several photographers in the area. After my education I moved back to Syracuse and became a studio manager, and taught photography on the Syracuse University campus.
