Description: Late June is a great time to visit and photograph the iconic landscapes of Acadia National Park. In this workshop, we will explore the beauty of Acadia's pink granite shorelines, it's lush interior forests, the views from the park's bald peaks, and the intimate details of wild and garden flowers. We will also spend one day taking a ferry (ferry tickets are included in the workshop registration fee.) to the Cranberry Islands and photographing remote island landscapes and harbor details. Indoor instruction will include one to two hours per day of lectures covering composition, close-up techniques, and digital imaging skills using Photoshop and Lightroom. We will also have the opportunity for several critique sessions where we review the images we shoot during the workshop. The workshop schedule will be flexible so that we can be out shooting in the best light possible for the subject matter. Jerry will draw on his twenty years of experience shooting in Acadia National Park and his experience in writing his three books about the park when determining the best photo locations.
Lectures and critique sessions will be held at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel in Bar Harbor.
