August in Maine, where the Atlantic meets the coast, is delightful. With sunny
and foggy days, you'll see the various moods of this craggy
area that Margo and Arnie love to photograph.
"Down East" Maine is an area known
for its dramatic rocky coast, pounding surf, wonderful lighthouses, and charming
fishing harbors and coves dotted with lobster boats. And we mustn't forget the
famous Maine fir trees that add wonderful elements to the coastline. Margo and
Arnie will take you to areas where Winslow Homer, Andy Wyeth, and other artists
have painted for centuries.
Because this is a popular time of year, we have scheduled this workshop Monday
through Thursday.
We will be headquarted at a lovely inn in New Harbor with beautiful rooms, a
spa, and an impressive wine list, so you may want to bring your spouse or significant
other, who are always welcome at our workshops and instantly become part of our
group.
As noted in the spring Maine workshops,
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.
New Harbor is in the heart of an area that has produced
many of Margo's photographs that have been published in calendars,
travel magazines, and coffee-table books. After the workshop, plan on taking
an extra few days to explore this area on your own, return to places we have
taken you, and use your new-found knowledge to make more beautiful photographs.
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;
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 (what many feel is the highlight of the workshop experience); and
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.
You will also receive written instructions on the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into beautiful prints straight out of the latest version of Lightroom using your own printer.
