Greylock after Dark – A Night Photography Workshop with Timothy Little Click here for more information. Moonlit vistas await you in this four and a half hour workshop devoted to shooting Mt. Greylock's iconic summit after sunset. Night photographer and author Timothy Little will teach you the tips, tricks and skills to begin your journey into low light and night photography.

Attendees need only have a basic understanding of their camera's manual settings and are asked to arrive with a digital SLR camera, a tripod and a manual release cable (for creating long exposures). The group meets inside Bascom Lodge about 90 minutes prior to nautical twilight for a slideshow and discussion and then heads out on to the summit to begin shooting as the moon rises behind the War Memorial. All attendees will receive a free copy of Timothy's eBook "Summit Nights – Mt. Greylock after Dark” and a matted print from his portfolio of photography featuring the summit as a memento of the journey. Workshop cost is $85 and is limited to just 12 participants.
