Look through late-night lens for art museum's photo class
By The Bakersfield Californian
The Bakersfield Museum of Art wants you to make it a late night. Inspired by summer exhibit L.A.Te: Photographs of Los Angeles After Dark, the museum is offering a class in July on nighttime photography, taught by two of the exhibiting artists.
On July 7, J. Wesley Brown and another photographer featured in the L.A.Te exhibit will share tips on shooting at night for a two-day workshop. The first day will focus on camera setup and exploring the streets of Bakersfield for photo ops, working with existing lighting. Day two will teach students how to digitally process and enhance photos to produce a quality print.
