Join our digital photography workshop in the beautiful mountains of western Virginia to
strengthen your eye, learn about the magic of light, and hone your printing skills.
Springtime here is stunning. We'll sees cascades, waterfalls, and beautiful and sometimes-rare wildflowers. It is a site to behold. Add to that old mills, villages, farms, and mountain mists that abound in this historic area, and you can't go wrong photographically. We have access to some very special, private locations that we'll share with you.
We'll be based in Warm Springs in historic Bath County, located high in the beautiful Alleghany Mountains of Appalachia. Not
much has changed in this county since 1861 when General Robert E. Lee said of
the area, "The
views are so magnificent ... the valleys so beautiful, the scenery so peaceful." You'll agree that this is a wonderful place to photograph.
In fact, this area has attracted interest from National Geographic, The Travel
Channel, and others.
At each of our photo adventures, we start out with some technical information before heading out for our first afternoon of photography. Our workshops include the following:
Maximum 6-to-1 ratio students to instructors
Opening wine-and-pizza reception;
Primer booklet to help you get started;
Early-morning 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 throughout!
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.
Remember, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great
prints!"
