If you haven't experienced the coast of Maine in the fall, then you are missing out!

This one is an 8-day extravaganza of photography.  Starting in York, this workshop will put you at Maine's top 3 most popular and photogenic lighthouses and both sunrise and sunset....you will have the absolute best opportunity to photograph these iconic locations in the best light possible.

The workshop will then take a well-deserved rest in beautiful and quaint Camden, Maine where we will photograph the town, harbor reflections, an expansive overlook and take a sunset ride on a charterd boat for just our group!! 


Then we end up in Bar Harbor to experience the town and the photographic highlights of Acadia National Park.  


You will get an exciting variety of photography on this workshop. From picturesque little towns to working harbors and jagged coasts to serene colorful sunsets - we will shoot it all!

Airport:  


We suggest flying round-trip in and out of Portland, ME as there are cheaper and more flights than trying to fly into Bangor.....although rental cars tend to be cheaper in Bangor.

 Car Rental:


Each participant is responsible for their transportation to, from and during the workshop.  Many people choose to go in together on a car rental to save money. We generally require some carpooling during the workshop anyway, so you may want to consider sharing the cost with someone else. 


Several car rental companies exist at each of the above airports.

 For This Workshop


Weather - This workshop could take you through many shooting environments, so be prepared for whatever the weather may bring. Dress in layers with comfortable shoes with good tread. Be sure to have rain gear for you and your camera and lots of warm clothing for early morning shoots.  Hats, gloves, scarves and a wind proof coat may be necessary on this trip. 

Conditions - This workshop isn't one of our more difficult workshops, physically speaking.  All of the lighthouses may be photographed from a good vantage point with ease.  With that said, some photographers are more daring than others and may want to climb around on rocky shorelines for different vantage points.  This is fine, but completely at their will according to their ability.  We caution against this for safety reasons.  But it is up to the individual photographer.   


Accessories - We do not 'require' that you purchase any specific equipment for this workshop.  With that said, you REALLY need a polarizer for EVERY lens.  If you do not wish to purchase a polarizer for each lens, then consider purchasing one for your largest lens opening and then purchasing step down ring adapters to fit it to your other lenses.  If you are not familiar with a polarizer and have questions, let us know.  We will be happy to help.  Also, you may want to bring a neutral density filter if you would like to experiment with long exposures and moving water.   Contact us with any questions about this. 


Also, you will need a tripod on this trip.  Please let us know if you have any questions about tripods.
