This workshop starts with in-home Zoom trainings to get you fully prepared to capture incredible images during this workshop.
We kick off Sunday night with an INCLUDED WELCOME DINNER.
Then, during this Exciting and Amazing Photography Workshop for the next two days, you will photograph and experience some of the most Spectacular Waterfalls in the Pocono Mountain region. All of the locations have been personally scouted by Positive Negatives, and most are off the beaten path and not the ones regularly visited by tourists.
That being said, there are no long hikes or difficult hikes. In fact, the longest walk to a waterfall is only about 10 minutes.
During this workshop you will learn the proper tools and techniques to capture stunning imagery that you will be proud to say you created. This workshop is all about creating great images, not just taking photos. This workshop will also be about quality, not quantity. There will be a slow relaxing pace so that you have the most time to capture the best images and from various vantage points.
This workshop will include both group and one-on-one instruction, thus the limit of only 6 photographers for this workshop. Some of what you will learn during this workshop will be:
*What camera settings to use for the best possible results
*How to accomplish good compositions
*Which filters to use and how to implement them
*Why you need to be on a tripod and use live view with a remote shutter release
*Techniques on how to post-process your images
*And a hell of a lot more!Our host hotel (hotel fee not included) will be The Fairfield Inn & Suites Stroudsburg Bartonsville/Poconos. You can stay at a hotel of your choice, but we will be training and carpooling to and from this location. Just click the link and book your own room.
