Welcome to Capturing the Cosmos with Far-Flung Adventures
We are very excitied for you to join us for two full days, and a full three night 3-Night Astrophotography Workshop in Big Bend National Park In Partnership with Far Flung Outdoor Center – Terlingua, TX .
This will be 3 unforgettable nights under some of the darkest skies in the U.S., exploring and photographing the stunning landscapes of Big Bend National Park and its surrounding desert beauty. Lodging included in Terlingua. Dinner every night—including a night at the legendary Starlight Theatre / Café. Transportation provided to all shooting locations.
Expert instruction on: • Shot planning & creative composition • Sunset, blue hour, and Milky Way captures • Star tracking & stacking for crisp skies • Blue hour blending for dynamic foregrounds. Plus, we’ll dive into powerful tools like Planit Pro, PhotoPills, Starry Landscape Stacker and Sequator to make your planning & editing process easier and more effective. This is more than a workshop—it’s a desert photography experience built around creativity, community, and the night sky.
Don’t let the idea of it being a border town throw you off. We have been visiting Big Bend for 8 years now and I’ve never had any issues. The locals are some of the friendliest, most welcoming people you’ll meet, and other travelers are just as great. It’s all part of the Terlingua experience!
Can I Bring a Non-Photographer Spouse/Guest?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring a guest with you. We just ask that non-photographer guest not attend the editing sessions. Due to transportation being included we dont have room for guests in the vans with photographers.
