Shoot for the Stars with us in Kanab: Announcing the 2024 Nightscaper Conference
We’re heading back to Kanab! To one of the premier places in the United States for dark skies and spectacular, surreal landscapes.
This week we officially launched the 2024 Nightscaper Photo Conference, and we invite you to come shoot for the stars with us.
About Nightscaper
If you’re making plans for your 2024 fall Milky Way season, then include Nightscaper in your schedule and level up your astro-landscape night photography skills. This year’s conference will be held in the nights leading up to the new moon, providing perfect darkness to photograph the setting Milky Way in the earlier hours of the night.
You’ll join other passionate photographers, scientists and inspirational speakers in Kanab. The daytime conference leaves plenty of room for going out at night with speakers, as well as with friends new and old. Speakers will also be offering local workshops before and after the conference, so you can put together a pretty awesome night photography experience in one of the best places in the world for doing so.
The Nightscaper conference goes on for four days, starting each day in late morning to accommodate those who were out shooting the night before. Daily lunches are included, as well as one dinner.
