Don Poggensee / Wind River Images will be teaching a free photo workshop at the old Battle Center Church located on 190th Street and Carriage Ave in Northwest Ida County, Iowa.  The workshop will begin at 9 p.m. on Friday, August 12th.

The annual Perseid meteor shower will peak the nights of the 12th and 13th this year which may produce about 200 meteors per hour those nights.  The Milky Way should also be visible overhead so in addition to photographing meteors you will also be taught how to photograph the Milky Way.

In addition to your camera, you will need a tripod with cable release and a small flashlight to work your controls.

From the town of Holstein, Iowa it is about 2 to 3 miles west on Hwy 20, then south on Carriage Ave until you come to the church.  For more information you can contact Don at [email protected].
