Joe LeFevre Speaker's Notes
Joe LeFevre gave a terrific presentation on Monday, January 7 on Landscape photography. His time-lapsed images were spectacular and I'm sure gave the audience a new avenue of photography to pursue. Joe has graciously allowed us to post his notes that were part of the Speaker's Notes at the NECCC conference last summer. Joe will be presenting at NECCC again this summer and will be covering his time-lapsed photography at that time. Here are some websites Joe recommended for finding dark places and for predicting the location of the Milky Way:
Light Pollution: Blue-Marble Nightlights
Milky Way: Milky Way
