June 22 – 26, 2020
Location: Hampton Inn, Pisgah Forest, NC
Instructors: Les Saucier and Mary Presson Roberts
Limit: 10 participants
Tuition –
$675.00
Begin your summer with an educational adventure exploring some of the most photogenic waterfalls on and around the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest with Les Saucier and Mary Presson Roberts.
Les and Mary will teach you, in the classroom and in the field, the skills needed for photographing waterfalls, capturing reflections, and looking past the label of “waterfall.”
During the classroom presentations, you will learn which settings are best to use for sharing your vision of waterfall scenes, how to use your gear and filters when photographing moving water, and how to compose scenes in an artistic way. Additionally, you will learn ways to post process your images in creative ways.
Participants will benefit from two invaluable critique sessions during the week.
