Maine
Coast & Lighthouses Photo Workshop
with Print Element Included May 21-24, 2009 Thursday afternoon at 1:00 through Sunday afternoon at 2:00 Travel to New England and join our digital photography workshop, strengthen your eye, and learn about the magic of light on the craggy and magnificent Maine coast. As a open-and-friendly, "crusty" New Englander, The Barefoot Contessa spent her childhood Down East sailing in her dad's classic wooden yawl. This has given her a special insight into the Maine coast and what it has to offer. In later years, she got to know Maine by land, so she has both perspectives on the magic of light and where the good photographic opportunities are. Not only are there lighthouses to photograph, but beautiful landscapes, charming fishing villages, and a stunning coastline punctuated by rocky outcroppings, cozy harbors sprinkled with lobster boats, and the famous Maine fir trees. And we mustn't forget the Maine lobster, best eaten, not in a restaurant, but in a "lobster shack " hanging out over the water in some of the many picturesque harbors that Margo has known for many decades. This part of the world has a lot of history, a place where the front doors in the old, weathered-gray shingled "Capes" face the ocean, a place where colorful lobster pots dot the landscape along with neat stacks of traps, a place where the surf crashes onto the hard granite coastal rocks, a place where a friendly fisherman will chat with you as you eat in a local establishment. This is also where the tall ships plied their trade, where lighthouse beams still warn sailors off the trecherous coastline, and where there are a myriad of locations that have attracted famous artists for centuries.We will be based in charming New Harbor in the heart of some of Margo's favorite locations, subjects of many of her shots published in calendars, travel magazines, and coffee-table books. Take advantage of the long weekend to putter around after the workshop ends and return to your favorite area or explore others.
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) To sign up, fill out the Application Form, and for the answers to most questions you might have, including what to expect and what to bring, go to our FAQs page.
