Cascades & Wildflowers Photo Workshop with Print Element Included
May 14-17, 2009
Thursday afternoon at 1:00 through Sunday afternoon at 2:00

For rushing spring cascades and beautiful and rare wildflowers, join our digital photography workshop in western Virginia's historic Bath County. Located high in the beautiful Alleghany Mountains of Appalachia, not much has changed in this county since 1861 when General Robert E. Lee said of the area, "The views are so magnificent ... the valleys so beautiful, the scenery so peaceful."

We will be based in historic Warm Springs. With cascades and waterfalls, lush gorges, morning mountain mists, ladyslippers, trillium, rare orchids, and other spring wildflowers, it is a gorgeous area to photograph. There are valleys dotted with farms nestled between long mountain ridges. And we have yet to encounter a traffic light anywhere in Bath County! In fact, this area has attracted interest from National Geographic, The Travel Channel, and others.

As a special treat, we have made special arrangements to visit a privately-owned gorge that is not open to the general public. Many of the photographs you see in the slide show are images from this particular gorge.

We start off the first day at 1:00 with some technical information before heading out for an afternoon of photography, returning in time for our evening reception. Our workshop includes the following:

Maximum 6-to-1 ratio students to instructors
Opening wine-and-pizza reception;
Primer booklet to help you get started;
Early-morrning and late-afternoon shoots;
Mid-day processing and tweaking your images with Photoshop and Lightroom;
Epson printing element with a booklet of step-by-step instructions;
Lots of individual instruction in both the field and classroom;
Critiques, both individual and group;
Discussions on various aspects of photography, including digital workflow;
Final group critique and show; and
Lots of fun and frivolity througout!

If you have not already done so, check our FAQs for equipment and installed downloads you need to bring to the workshop including, if necessary, the free, 30-day, trial versions of the Adobe products.

In our print element, our instructors will show you the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital images into stunning prints using a high-quality Epson printer. In fact, in all our domestic workshops, you will end up making a lovely, large, archival print of one of your workshop photographs made with Epson paper and inks to take home with you.

As we said above, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great prints!"

Cost: $850 (discounts available)
