WORKSHOPS

Do you love nature photography and want to capture some incredible WOW shots to add to your portfolio? Are you ready to learn some advanced capture techniques? Is your post-processed work not at the level you aspire to? Do you prefer to shoot with small groups and hate competing to get the good spot? Do you enjoy looking at some of my work and wonder, how did he do that? If you answered, “Yes” to any of these then consider one of my nature photography workshops in Acadia National Park, White Mountains National Forest, Delaware Water Gap, and the Great Smoky Mountains.

Great Smoky Mountains Spring Workshop: April 18-22nd, 2010, 4-days, $875
Late April in the Smoky Mountains marks the emergence of spring. Wildflowers are popping up along the roads, the dogwoods are flowering, the streams are full, sunrise and sunset opportunities are some of the best in the country, and old cabins make for great HDR captures. Fair warning, one of the signature locations of the Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, will be completely closed for maintenance work at this time - but this trip is a go with a minimum of three people. Dedicated location article to be posted soon. See my blog post from the 2009 workshop and GSM galleries.

Delaware Water Gap Digital Mastery Workshops: 2 days, $199
Spring: Late May/Early June & Fall: 3rd week of October, 2010.This short workshop is a combination of field shooting, mostly waterfalls and streams, and class time focusing on composition and a software/digital mastery tips and tricks. Contact me if interested. See some of my DWG images.

White Mountain National Forest Workshops, 4 days $875
Spring: May 16 – 20th, & Fall: October 3 – 7th, 2010
Most people think of the White Mountains as one of the best fall foliage venues in the northeast, and they would right. But, the best-kept secret is the photo opportunities in the spring. Both times of the year have great potential for sunrise/sunset, as well as numerous waterfall and stream captures. In spring the rivers are raging from melting snow and crowds are non-existent. In fall, peak period for reds can be short but yellow and orange leaves are everywhere along with plenty of nice birch groves. Either time of year presents plenty of opportunities for WOW shots, and early morning moose sightings. See my spring blog post and my WM galleries.

Acadia National Park Workshops, 4 days, $875
Spring: June 6 – 10th & Fall: October 10 – 14th, 2010
When it comes to shooting landscapes Acadia National Park has it all. Sunrise, sunset, fog, lakes, oceans, harbors, lighthouse, and mountains, all in a relatively small area about ¼ the size of the Great Smoky Mountains. Glacially carved granite provides tremendous leading line foreground opportunities. The first place the sun strikes the US each morning is Cadillac Mountain making that sunrise shoot and extra special experience. See article: Acadia National Park and check out some of my work here.
