Midwest Photo Safari #2 "Minneapolis Nights" on the Heritage Trail

This tour begins at the Third Avenue Bridge on Historic Main St. We begin by walking parts of the St. Anthony Heritage Trail and practice early evening light photography. We will learn the principles of low light settings on your digital SLR's or the various "scene" mode settings of your digital point and shoot.

Before we begin, we will have a short presentation covering basic principles of low light/night photography. When darkness sets in, this area comes alive with interesting lights. From the Minneapolis night skyline to the great lights on the area bridges, we will capture stunning night images you are sure to want to frame.

This safari is best done with a digital SLR or a better quality digital point and shoot with advanced scene modes. Your Safari guide / photographer will be carrying a Sony digital point and shoot to demonstrate the techniques we will be covering. For this safari, a sturdy tripod is necessary, or at least a "gorilla pod" or similar style portable support. A remote shutter release is also very handy to have along.

The "Minneapolis Nights" safari will include some of the same destinations as our Safari 1 day tour, the St Anthony Falls Heritage Trail Safari. This safari begins 30 minutes before local sunset (your tour confirmation will have an exact time) near the Third Avenue Bridge, and continues till at least 10 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Pricing for this Safari is $59.00 (not including tax and gratuity) per person and includes the same printed material as our day tour with a special low light pointer insert.

This Safari is Seasonal, running April 1 through October 31. Special winter sessions are done about once a month in the off season.
