Star Circle Academy

Would you like to learn how to make inspired images that include the night sky? Would you like to learn the places, times, and tools needed to make those images even more compelling? Would you like to shoot on-site at some of the most eye-popping gorgeous locations in California? Yes?! You have come to the right place. The Star Circle Academy™ is the brain child of Harold Davis noted San Francisco Bay Area author and photographer. Joining Mr. Davis is photographer and astronomy aficionado Steven Christenson - a winner of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year, 2010.
