Summary
Join me for an exciting 6 days of nature and landscape photography in the beautiful and iconic Acadia National Park. Experience the photographic journey of the majestic cliffs that rise sharply above the Atlantic Ocean, as well as pristine lakes and amazing mountain top sunrises.
The Magic of Acadia
You’ll have the opportunity to experience one of America’s easternmost national parks in its most dramatic moments, capturing the diverse landscapes of land, water, and light that Maine has to offer. From the first time I visited Acadia, it’s been one of my favorite places to photograph because of its extraordinary glaciated mountains and lakes, magical waterfalls,streams and vast hiking trails. I have been photographing in Acadia for years, and have traveled the entire length of the park searching for the best landscape opportunities.
What You Will Learn
I will demonstrate my approach to capturing dramatic and expressive images, and help each participant with technical and compositional questions. The techniques that we’ll work on in the field will be reinforced in the classroom, helping you improve while still on location. We’ll be visiting many locations during the weekend, which I’ll be selecting based on weather conditions.
Classroom sessions is where we’ll spend time learning to develop images in Adobe Lightroom, and viewing slideshows of the day’s images from all students.
