Portland, Maine is a treasure trove of cobblestone streets in historic Old Port, a thriving arts scene, and a vibrant waterfront along Portland Harbor at the mouth of the Fore River and Casco Bay. We will even venture to Cape Elizabeth’s famous lighthouse on the rocky coast.
Join us for a weekend filled with learning and fun where we will explore all of what Portland has to offer while learning how to capture the essence of a place and improve your photography skills. Whether photographing local people or historic architecture, details of lobster traps or fishing boats, we will have time in the field to discuss topics such as exposure, depth of field, composition, use of color and catching the best light.

 

In between shooting there will be time for critique sessions, sharing of images, workflow and Lightroom demonstrations, and time to work on enhancing your images. So join us along with other photo enthusiasts for a fun filled and informative weekend.

Writers, painters, and photographers have long enjoyed the benefits of a Cape Cod creative retreat. This magnificent haven boasts incredible sunrises and sunsets, still wild long sandy beaches, ponds and tall grasses, salt marshes, lighthouses, dramatic sand dunes, quaint shops, a even a windmill. September on the Cape is considered by some to be the most lovely, with dramatic light and less crowds.
During the workshop, Kathy and Nancy will work with each participant to address opportunities to capture unique images and enhance their photographic knowledge and skill. The goal of the workshop is learning in a supportive and fun environment with other photo enthusiasts.

 

We will discuss camera settings and functions that can be used to increase your creativity, exposure, depth of field, rules of composition and other digital tips. The class size is small so the personal attention time is high. We want you to come home with amazing photos and a better understanding of how you achieved them!Click here for more information on the Cape Cod Workshop
