Adirondack Spring Landscapes Nature Photography Workshop - For digital photography and film photography - - One Day Nature Photography Field Workshop - $160 before 5/1/08, $175. after Saturday May 17th, Sunday May 18th, 2008 from 1 PM to 9 PM Join Carl in May for a pair of 1 day nature photography workshops - photographing the gentle spring landscapes in the southeastern Adirondacks. The workshop is based at Carl's home in Brant Lake, so travels will most likely be to sites in the Lake George area, as well as some special locations closer to his home in Brant Lake. These one day workshops, are designed around a full afternoon and evening of photography, so there will be a wide variety of lighting conditions. We'll work with whatever the lighting is that day to decide both where and when - and the types of scenes we'll be photographing. We may be doing close-up photography as well as telephoto work, and some wide angle landscape views, too. If the evening conditions work out, we'll be sure to try to set up to photograph the sunset at a really nice location. This photo workshop is rated 'easy'. Most of the potential photography locations are either fairly close to a road, or within a short walking distance of a trailhead. There may be some ups and downs to the walking, so it is a good idea to have a pack that comfortably accomodates both camera gear and outdoor gear while walking in these conditions. There are bound to be some black flies - please see the equipment list for suggestions of things to bring. This isn't meant to scare folks away - we just want everyone well prepared for the potential conditions so we all have a great time! Carl enjoys working with all levels of photographers - with a maximum of 6 in the workshop it works out for both general instruction and being able to give individual attention. He began working with a digital SLR in spring 2007 and can explore the additional options that digital cameras provide as well as the various features of film and traditional 35mm SLR and panoramic cameras. No matter which image format you use, a sturdy tripod is essential for working with composition and slow shutter speed techniques. Please bring whatever food you might want for the afternoon and evening. After some introductory discussion, we will be out in the field for the whole workshop - though we may travel to a couple of different locations during the day. Sunset is about 8:20 PM. The best color in the clouds can often be about 10 to 20 minutes after actual sunset, so we might be photographing until after sunset, and then heading back to the car in evening twilight.
