2.       This month presentation was put together based on several recommendations on topics to cover as a part of our Fundamentals of Photography series "Night Photography". Chuck Knowles will be sharing some pictures, stories and experiences on Night Photography. It is not all about Astro! Night Photography is a lot of fun and can be for all skill levels of photography. The expectation is that after this presentation everyone will have the tools to do some Night Photography.
