We will discuss forecasting based on moon phase, moon position, cloud cover, as well as heat haze, understand the ins and outs of camera settings, must-have accessories, lens recommendations, as well as some of my personal favorite techniques to create unique compositions that will set your images apart from others. There will also be time to briefly talk post-processing and editing strategy to pull out the most data from the sky and make your photos pop and stand out.

Charlie Kruschek
I’ve been a nature fanatic since I first picked up a camera, 6 years ago. During the spring and summer months, I travel the country chasing tornadoes, supercells, lightning storms, and anything Mother Nature has to offer. Outside of storm chasing, I am obsessed with the natural world around (and above) us. I lived in Iceland photographing waterfalls and the auroras, and I’ve traveled the United States photographing some of this country’s most beautiful landscapes. I’ve been featured in multiple art communities across Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and am continuing my pursuits of making my passion for landscape photography my full-time career.
Ed. Grindle
Since studying fine arts at UW-Madison, photography has been a cornerstone of my life. I’ve had my work published both domestically and internationally and have been shooting professionally for over 40 years. I enjoy close-up, portrait, landscape and any aspect of photography that is in front of me. I have a professional certification of online education and take any opportunity I can to teach others about the joys of photography.
