Step into one of the most unforgettable night photography experiences you’ll ever have — A Night at the Refuge: Stars Edition. This unique workshop takes place inside Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll learn the essentials of Milky Way photography while the sounds of lions, tigers, and other big cats echo across the night.
This is where education meets adrenaline, and where the natural world feels bigger, wilder, and more alive than ever.
What You’ll Learn:
🌌 Milky Way Basics
Perfect for beginners, we’ll walk through everything you need to capture the night sky with confidence. From camera settings to menu functions, you’ll gain the foundational skills to create your first Milky Way images.
🔍 How to Focus in the Dark
We’ll break down easy, reliable methods to achieve tack-sharp focus at night — no guesswork, no frustration.
✨ Capturing the Core
Learn how to expose, frame, and photograph the glowing center of our galaxy as it rises above Freedom Field.
👂 A Sensory Experience
While your eyes adjust to the stars, your ears will be treated to the powerful roars of the big cats settling in for the night — an atmosphere unlike anything else.
Why This Event Is Special:
This workshop is exclusive, with extremely limited participation to ensure a safe, intimate, and immersive experience.
And best of all — 100% of the proceeds are donated directly to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, supporting their mission of rescuing and caring for abused, abandoned, and neglected big cats and other animals. Be sure to also check out their Digital Download Video, "Uncharted" to learn more about a few of the residents.
To maximize your experience, you can also stay the night with the wild cats on the Turpentine property in Safari Suites, a Tree House, Glamping Tents, and even RV spaces!
SPACE IS LIMITED FOR TEACHING PURPOSES AND TO KEEP COMPOSITIONS UNCLUTTERED.
