Free Milky Way NightScapes Photography Lectures for Camera Clubs and Local Photography Groups.
Although I've been paid handsomely to give dozens of presentations over the years at photography conferences throughout the world, I often "give back" to our photography community with free lectures to local photography groups and camera clubs.
A typical astro-landscape photography presentation, with PowerPoint slides, runs about 45 minutes to an hour, followed by up to 30 minutes of Questions and Answers from the audience. My only pay-back is that the hosting organization allow me a 2-minute advertisement about my Milky Way NightScapes eBook, which can be purchased online (often with a special discount code for members of the hosting organization).
Typical Presentation Methods to Your Group. Your Choice Between:
- Zoom option 1: You provide the live Zoom connection. You are free to record the presentation and share it later to members who could not attend. Cost: No charge from me.
- Zoom option 2: I provide the live Zoom connection. I will also record it and post it to YouTube, where your member can access it after the live Zoom meeting. Cost: No charge for my presentation; however, there is a fee of fifty dollars to help pay for Zoom and uploading costs.
- In-person: I will come to your club or organization and make my presentation. Cost: No charge for my presentation; however, you must pay for my round trip transportation costs from Salt Lake City, UT USA; and lodging costs in your city.

Here are a few recorded examples of presentations I've given:
- Creating Natural NightScape Photos (a free presentation to a photo group)
- Low-Level-lighting techniques for Milky Way Photography (A live Zoom class for PhotoPills)
- 'Simply Stunning' Single Exposures for 'Nightscape' Astro-landscape Photography (recorded for the 2023 Nightscaper Photo Conference)
- 6 Ways to Improve Your Nightscapes (recorded at the 2021 Nightscaper Conference)
Promoting Your Camera Club

When I come to your area, I often help promote your local organization or camera club. Here, I'm on a local TV program in Florida promoting a presentation I'm going to give that weekend at a local camera club. My lecture was free to camera club members. The club charged a nominal fee to the general public—helping to bring in money to support the club's future programs. I also use my domain name "NightScapeEvents.com" to link up to the club's website or any other local astrophotography event I'm trying to help promote (that domain name goes to this blog page when there is not a current event scheduled).
