A note from the instructor:
My name is James Sibert and I have been shooting photographs in a semi-professional capacity for over 10 years. My work has led me all over my home state of Colorado and the surrounding states, where the vast expanses of public land and parks create stunning vistas and dark night skies ideal for landscape and astrophotography.
