One of the best times to see and and experience Cape Cod is after dark when the landscape is lit by starlight or moonlight. These times also give you the opportunity to visit and travel between destinations during hours that many people are asleep making these places quiet and serene. This tour is available for all experience levels. Night photography is a fantastic way to capture popular or "over shot" subjects in new ways. We'll use long exposure techniques and flashlights to create an immersive art experience. If you've never visited the Cape Cod area and are unsure of where the best subjects are, this tour ensures you get the best locations based on the sky conditions available. Choose between a moonlight or starlight(Milky Way) tour! Contact me for the date range you are available for more information on moon phase and sky information. Please contact me for availability before booking.
