Virginia Workshop, April 25 - 27, 2008 Late April in Virginia means mares & foals, flowering dogwood and redbud trees and lush green pastures dotted with buttercups and dandelions. This is one of the most beautiful times of year! The scenery and flowers are fabulous. We will have opportunities to shoot horses, nature and farm scenes. This workshop will be taking place in beautiful locations in and around the Warrenton, The Plains and Upperville area of Fauquier County. Our host farms have been selected to provide you the best learning environment. What Will We Cover Emphasis in the workshop will cover creative control of camera settings, depth of field, composition, lens choice as well as varied lighting conditions. Specific topics covered, conditions permitting, will include:
We will be on location before sunrise each day. We'll break at midday for several hours and head back out no later than 3:00 and shoot until sunset. Each day's locations will be planned in advance, but since we cannot control the weather, the schedule may be subject to change. Workshops will go on rain or shine.
Our workshops are open to photographers of all skill levels, amateur through professional. The workshop is geared toward advanced beginner to intermediate photographers but even working pros will find creative inspiration and renewal. Our focus is on providing a enjoyable learning environment. Cost The cost is $395.00 and includes snacks and drinks on the shoots. Meals, lodging and transportation are not included. We will be staying at the at the Comfort Inn in Warrenton, Virginia. The room rate is $109/night. What You Will Need A DSLR is a requirement and to take full advantage of what we are going to teach you will want to have lenses covering 28mm to 200mm. If you don't have the gear, renting is very affordable. A laptop with some image editing software like Photoshop, Breezebrowser, Nikon View or Canon Zoombrowser is recommended to download and view your photos. Travel The nearest airport is Washington Dulles (IAD). Another choice is Reagan National (DCA) which is in the city of Washington DC so avoid rush hour arrival times. About 90 minutes away is Baltimore Washington (BWI) but that can also be a very difficult drive during rush hour.
