Lighthouses of the Outer Banks Photo Workshop with Print Element Included
     October 30 - November 2, 2008
     Thursday noon through Sunday afternoon at 2:00


Join our digital photography workshop, strengthen your eye, and learn about the magic of light on the famed Outer Banks of North Carolina while photographing some of its magnificent lighthouses and parts of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The lighthouses, with their unique shapes and patterns, stand magestically above the stark, pristine splendor of this area. For the unitiated, each lighthouse has a unique flash, rather like Morse Code, so even at night, you know which one you are seeing and photographing.

Surrounding them are the salt marshes with their many varieties of reeds and grasses, small skiffs dotting the estuaries, changing reflections, wilflife, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Even in inclement weather, they are dramatic against a stormy sky.

The National Seashore has many other interesting subjects such as the patterns of the sand dunes, sea oats and beach peas, birds, and fishermen casting at the surf's edge. Every year, the weather changes, so the lighthouses take on a different look, and we will photograph a different lighthouse each day. For our second location each day, we will select something different from our 2007 workshop. It should be noted that every time we visit the lighthouses, they take on a different look, depending upon the weather and time of day.

We will be based in Nags Head, conveniently located for all our locations, making it easier to get up for those early-morning shoots!

At noon on Thursday, we'll start out with some technical information before heading out for an afternoon of photography, returning in time for our 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:  $750 (discounts available)
