Shoot for the Stars!  Borrego Art Institute, Saturday, October 18, 2008, 1-4 p.m.

Expose your camera to a whole new universe with tips from one of the world’s leading sky photographers

Most of the spectacular images in “Capturing the Cosmos: A Personal Journey” were shot with little more than a camera and tripod.  In this informative and entertaining workshop, Dennis Mammana will show how you, too, can create magnificent one-of-a-kind celestial portraits with even the most basic of equipment, and will offer a behind-the-scenes tour of his exhibit as well as a few well-guarded tricks of the trade!   To enjoy more of Mammana’s images and learn about his many public activities, visit him online at dennismammana.com and at twanight.org

About Dennis Mammana …
