Summer Digital Workhop July 1st - 3rd

Join us for our very first Summer Workshop during the most popular time of the year in Highlands, during July 4th week. Beginning on Wednesday, July 1st through Friday, July 3rd, we will have 3 full days of digital photography instruction, in-the-field, hands-on experience using and learning how better to use your own particular digital camera. As always, our focus will be the natural environment, seeking out the very best locations, including waterfalls, rivers, mountains, and forests. Our time will be divided between being outdoors 70% of each day, and classroom time 30%. *Register soon as class will be a maximum of 10 students to have best possible personal instruction.

Autumn Digital Workshop Oct. 12th - 14th

This year will be our 7th Autumn Workshop in Highlands, which we consider to be the very best location in the entire Southeast for experiencing the beauty of stunning color during the Fall season. Autumn is still our favorite season here on the Plateau. We will offer 3 full days of digital photography in-the-field, hands-on, experience using and learning how better to use your own particular digital camera. Though we highly recommend you know how to use your cameras before our workshops begin, we will still devote time to teaching you how to digitally photograph the natural environment, the colors, the rivers, the forests, and mountain vistas. During this special time of the year, photography presents all day opportunities. And though we cannot control the weather, or the timing of Fall color, we strive to find the very best places to work and learn during the 3 days we have together.
