New
England Fall Foliage Photo Workshop
with Print Element Included October 8-12, 2008
Wednesday noon through Sunday afternoon at 2:00
Join our fall digital workshop in beautiful northern New England to to strengthen
your eye and composition. People travel
here from all over the world to see New England's fall splendor. With its background
of various conifers, the brilliant colors of the many varieties of Maples, Birches,
Beeches, and other hardwoods are a sight to behold.
Having grown up and spent
most of her life in this part of the world, The Barefoot Contessa, alias Margo,
has intimate knowledge of where to go to find the best color and that beautiful
magic of light while avoiding most of the leaf peepers. This allows our participants
to come away with the best possible photographs.
For this photo workshop adventure, we will be based near Dartmouth College in
central-western New Hampshire. Each day, we will head off in a different direction
in both New Hampshire and Vermont, exploring some of the many things New England
has to offer
— streams and waterfalls, mountain vistas, charming towns, covered bridges,
old general stores, etc.
Northern New England is also a geological treasure trove. For the initiated,
you will recognize many features that you have studied moraines, upheavals,
intrusions, even rare granite that is usually hidden deep in the core of a mountain.
For others, you will find that the varied landscape will be interesting subject
matter to photograph.
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: $975
