The Itinerary

• 3:00 PM – Fuel & Fellowship (Bricktown Brewery, Enid) We’ll kick things off at Bricktown Brewery in Enid. This is our "pre-game" session to meet the team, have fun and network, and go over the plan for the evening while enjoying dinner.
• 4:30 PM – The Convoy We head out toward Gloss Mountain State Park, timed to arrive as the light begins to soften. You may also meet us at the entrance to the park if you choose not to meet up in Enid for dinner.
• 5:15ish Portraits & Off-Camera Flash (OCF) Once on-site, we’ll work with Dawn Muncy for a mini lesson in off camera flash using a model against the backdrop of the iconic mesas.
• Twilight – As the sun dips below the horizon, we’ll pivot our focus. Elise Breeding will go over the basics of night sky photography and starting point settings.
• Nightfall – Astro Photography With its minimal light pollution, Gloss Mountain is one of the best spots in the region for stargazing. We’ll capture the Milky Way, practicing long exposures on the unique gypsum formations.
