Light Painting Field Trip Logistics
Ready to turn the desert into a canvas of light? Here are a few essentials to help make the evening a success:
Attend Beginner's Group meeting on June 14, 2026, 2:00-4:00pm.
Additional Information: Beginner's Group
📷 Camera Gear
Camera with manual settings
Sturdy tripod (your most important piece of equipment)
35–50mm lens preferred
Aperture range of f/2.8–f/4.0 works great
Extra batteries and memory cards (long exposures have an appetite)
🧑 Human Essentials
Bug spray (the mosquitoes were not invited, but they may show up anyway)
Water (hydration is a photographic superpower)
Snacks (creativity burns calories)
Headlamp or flashlight
Patience (light painting is part photography, part science experiment)
Social interaction (highly encouraged)
🎨 What to Expect
Light painting is a team activity where a little experimentation goes a long way. Not every frame will be a masterpiece, but the laughs, unexpected results, and occasional "How did we do that?" moments are all part of the fun.
Come prepared to learn, create, and spend an evening with fellow photographers under the night sky.
Entry Fee: Part of Lake Mead NRA, requiring a pass ($25 per vehicle for 1-7 days) or Annual Federal Parks Pass
