Join our photography workshop in "Down East" Maine, an area known
for its dramatic rocky coast, pounding surf, wonderful lighthouses, and charming
fishing harbors and coves. We will photograph in areas where Winslow Homer, Andy
Wyeth, and other artists have painted for centuries. And we'll head to our favorite
fish shack for the famous Maine lobster. The Barefoot Contessa grew up sailing
this area, so knows it well and looks forward to introducing you to her special
haunts where you'll be able to celebrate
your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn
about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
We will be based in charming New Harbor in the heart of Margo's oft-visited locations,
subjects of many of her shots published in calendars, travel magazines, and coffee-table
books. Margo knows this area intimately.
Margo and her husband/partner and fellow
pro instructor, Arnie, will show you their favorite lighthouses, charming fishing
villages, and a stunning coastline punctuated by rocky outcroppings, cozy harbors
sprinkled with lobster boats, and the famous Maine fir trees.
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 downloading of your images and processing with the latest version
of Lightroom;
Printing element with step-by-step instructions for printing
straight from Lightroom;
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 on last day; and
Lots of fun and frivolity throughout!
If you have not already done so, be sure to 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 Adobe products.
In our print element, our instructors will
give you the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into beautiful prints straight out of the latest version of Lightroom. In fact, in all our domestic workshops,
you will end up taking home a lovely, large, archival print of one of your workshop
photographs made with Epson paper and inks.
