5-Day Digital Landscape & Nature Workshop

If landscape and nature photography are your passion, there is no more beautiful place than the Green Mountains of Vermont to expand your skills and sensitivity. We will explore all the same aspects as the Digital Photography Workshop—equipment, capture, file management, digital image editing and aesthetics. But we'll take this process one step further by applying this information on numerous field trips to make new images. Daily critiques will give you immediate feedback about your technique and will expand ways to make your images stronger and more successful.

Bring your alarm clock and plan on rising before sunrise—you won't want to miss the beautiful early morning light. Throughout the workshop, we will concentrate on seeing the quality of light present. You'll discover that when you photograph in the moment, using the light which the day has offered, preconceived ideas disappear. Your images become a direct response to your environment and your imaging sessions become much more enjoyable and productive.

This workshop is designed for the landscape photographer with a basic knowledge of camera controls and some understanding of the digital process. We will help expand your knowledge base in both areas, so bring your thirst for knowledge as well as your camera gear. These workshops are limited to 8 participants each. Registration and a “Welcome Dinner” are Sunday afternoon and evening, group workshops run Monday through Friday, and the workshop winds up with group and individual evaluations on Saturday morning.

The fee for this 5½ day workshop is $995, exclusive of meals and accommodations.

NEW for 2012: ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, MAINE

Please join me in one of my favorite places on earth this summer for one of two intensive digital photography workshops. This is the Maine coast at its quintessential best: wave-pounded ocean cliffs; lofty, open granite hills; hidden ponds and inlets; sleepy villages and busy fishing harbors. I love this place so much that I've made two photo books about Acadia, and I'd love to share this very special place with you.

Workshop Schedule:
Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine
June 3-9, 2012
Based at the Bar Harbor Inn.
Please visit their website for rates and reservations.

Doug Bradshaw is a retired school superintendent. He attended this workshop before an extended trip to the Pacific northwest:
"One of the many things I learned in my class with Alan Nyiri was the importance of timing and lighting. I shot this picture on the Oregon coast at about mid-morning when the fog was beginning to lift. I felt that the lighting with the mountains and the fog gave the picture a sense of drama. Pictures taken at other times of the day had very different emotional impact."
