with some of the
2008 Maine crew.
In our print element, we'll show
you the ins and outs of successfully turning your favorite digital
images into stunning prints. In fact,
in all our domestic workshops, you'll take home a lovely, large, archival Epson print of
one of your workshop photographs.
Remember, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great
prints!"
If you have not already done so, check our FAQs for
questions you may have as well as equipment and installed downloads you need to bring to the workshop including,
if necessary, the free, 30-day, trial versions of the Adobe products.
Margo, Arnie, and John will show you how to strengthen and
expand your photographic vision using the wonderful magic of light to enhance your images. As well-seasoned pros, they really enjoy sharing their expertise
of how to create great images and process them through a logical
work flow. They make learning fun in visually-rich locations
here and abroad while they guide you toward becoming a better
photographer.
Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures has been around since the early 80s, and with

While we may sometimes photograph with you, our first commitment is always to give our
participants the most rewarding photographic and learning experience possible.
