Court sits down with Jeff Pfaller to go deep on photographing the night: Milky Way fundamentals, foreground strategy (and why your cell phone flashlight is secretly a lighting tool), photo stacking workflows, fireflies (including the Smokies synchronous phenomenon), eclipse photography and logistics, editing philosophy, and gear that matters most when it’s 10:30pm and your fingers are questioning your life choices.

Key Topics Include:

• The importance of planning a night photo shoot during the day
• Double exposures for night photography to capture the landscape
• Firefly photography
• The mindset needed for photographing and publishing a photo book
• A step by step playbook for Eclipse photography
• Some amazing advice for assembling the perfect camera kit for you
