Join our photography workshop on the dramatic Outer Banks, a long, thin strip of barrier islands that protect the North Carolina Coast. Preserved to a large extent by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, it is a visual feast of historic lighthouses spaced between long stretches of wild beaches and pristine sand dunes. The Outer Banks are part of our own back yard that we know so well, and we will go to great locations where you can celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs. Who knows, you might join the increasing number of photographers who have won awards with images they have created in this workshop!

We'll be based in Nags Head, near all our locations, making it easier to get up for those early-morning shoots! Every day, the land- and sea-scapes take on a different look, depending upon the weather and time of day. Each lighthouse, with its unique shape and pattern, has its particular flash sequence, so even at night, you'll know which one you are seeing and photographing. Surrounding the lighthouses are the salt marshes with their many varieties of reeds and grasses, small skiffs dotting the estuaries, changing reflections, wildlife, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Even in inclement weather, they are dramatic against a stormy sky. The National Seashore has many other interesting subjects — the patterns of the sand dunes, sea oats and beach peas, and surf pounding the deserted beaches.
