Many of Hanson's photos are taken at state
parks and recreation areas. He recommends
them as safe places to go when shooting
photos at night.
If you'd like to do nighttime photography
at a state park or recreation area, please
remember the following:
•
Before heading out, you need to contact
the park superintendent in advance to let
them know you are coming, and to discuss
any special considerations (restricted areas,
ongoing construction, events or activities,
known hazards, etc.).
•
You will need a valid park permit if you are
driving a vehicle into a state park area.
•
Do not enter or take photographs in
campground areas.
•
Remain on trails or other publicly
accessible areas.
•
Prepare for cooler temperatures and use
caution when walking in low visibility.
•
Use a minimalist approach to avoid
disturbing wildlife.
•
Practice Leave No Trace principles. ■
