Night Sky Photography Workshop Set For November 17th At PA Lumber Museum
The museum will be hosting a night sky photography workshop on Friday, November 17th from 5 to 8 Pm. The cost is $60 per person. Please call the museum to pre-register for this event- space is limited to 10 participants.
The museum’s “3rd Sunday” educational program series moves to a Friday night during the month of November for a special Night Sky Photography Workshop. The program will be led by museum board member and PA Wilds Juried Artisan, photographer Curt Weinhold. Curt will share the knowledge and insight he has gained in his experiences photographing the beautiful and dramatic “truly dark” skies within Potter County in the vicinity of the museum. Curt emphasizes the use of foreground materials in his compositions, which the buildings and landscapes at the museum can provide in unique and interesting ways.
The workshop will take place on Friday November 17th from 5 to 8 Pm. Cost for the workshop is $55/person for members of PALMA and $60/person for the general public. Payment in the form of cash or personal check is required upon arrival. Pre-registration is required for this event, and registration will be limited to 10 people. Curt has offered several of these workshops through PA DCNR at Cherry Springs State Park, and they always fill-up fast. Please call 814-435-2652 or email palumbermuseum@gmail.com to register for the event. The event may be canceled due to poor conditions; registered participants will be notified of cancellation or changes.
Some things to remember: Participants are asked to supply their own photographic equipment. Low-light photography of dark skies requires a relatively sophisticated DSLR camera (with changeable lenses) and a tripod. Please be sure that camera and spare batteries are fully charged and that memory cards contain sufficient free space. Participants have the option of bringing a laptop with them as it is expected that there will be a brief review of captured images at the conclusion of the workshop. This event will take place at night, outside during the month of November so please dress appropriately. This workshop is not for those wishing to photograph through a telescope.
The museum would like to thank Curt Weinhold for agreeing to be part of this program; his dedication and service to the site are much appreciated! Please join us to behold one of the more beautiful consequences of the historic boom and bust cycle of the lumber industry in this part of Pennsylvania.
Examples of Curt’s night sky photography can be seen here: http://www.pbase.com/cwphoto/dark_sky

Known for performing genre-hopping original compositions and arrangements from around the world, this band will serve up a musical passport of Celtic reels, flamenco, Gypsy jazz, Arabic folk, Cuban and South Asian rhythms.
Sultans of String was formed 10 years ago by fiddle player Chris McKhool who plays Celtic, Gypsy jazz and Middle Eastern music and guitarist Kevin Laliberté, known for his flamenco style. They are the core of the band’s signature sound. With them will be Drew Birston on bass and Rosendo “Chendy” León on percussion.
Joining them on stage at Wellsboro will be master sitar player Anwar Khurshid who has created music for a number of films including the Oscar-winning "Life of Pi." Also a Canadian resident, Khurshid collaborated with McKhool, Laliberté and other musicians in the creation of Sultans of String's "Subcontinental Drift" album released in 2015.
The Billboard charting band is a SiriusXM Award winner, three-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner and nominated three times for the Juno Award, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy.
Tickets are $20. For tickets, call 570-724-6220 or visit www.wellsborocca.org.
