“I met Josh and another couple at the Bar Harbor pier to begin our night photo shoot. We talked about gear and night time settings. Josh gave us a handout with all the information so we didn't have to worry about taking notes. We took some photos after sunset around the pier. We then caravanned over to Eagle Lake in Acadia National Park, where we set up to shoot the Milky Way. Josh was very knowledgeable and patient. I asked a lot of questions, and he took the time to explain everything to me. I was able to get some very nice pictures. I felt more confident after this, so the next night I went to a different location in the park (Thunder Hole) and took some photos on my own. The other couple from the class met me there, and we had a great time shooting the night time sky. We even met up the next day to do some photo editing, and hopefully we'll be able to keep in touch.” – Mary R.

"I had a great time learning about night photography from Howie. We had a group of beginner and advanced photographers and we were all able to learn something. I consider myself advanced and left with a wealth of knowledge that I will put to immediate use and now have an new found curiosity for the art and science of star photography." – Paul
