Join Natural Connections Photo Workshops in September on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina.
From ocean sunrises, historic lighthouses, rolling dunes, charming coastal villas and sunsets on the sound....and if we're lucky we will even get to photograph marsh birds, wild horses and black bears...oh my! We will even take advantage of any clear night skies and shoot some milky way photography as well! You will leave this workshop with a HUGE range of photo subjects!
You are going to get an amazing cross-section of the Outer Banks on this trip. Of course we will explore the natural beauty of the area, but we we will photograph some pretty amazing man-made structures as well - lighthouses, bridges and piers will help to anchor some of our sunrises and sunsets. We will also be doing some night sky photography if mother nature cooperates. Practice milky way and star trail photography during this time.
And then there are the animals. We will be in search of the region's famous wild horses on the beaches and also be on the hunt for black bears in the nature preserve.
This workshop starts at 4pm on Friday, September 23rd and ends in the evening of Tuesday, September 27th.

Accessories - we do not require that you purchase any specific equipment for this workshop. With, that said, however, there are a couple of filters that we feel are very important whose effects cannon be replicated in Photoshop. A circular polarizer is a must for landscape photography. Also, you may wish to have a 3-stop neutral density filter for getting long shutter speeds for smoothing out water shots. Additionally, you will want a really wide lens for milky way photography. If you have ANY questions about these suggestions, please let us know.
Climate - the Outer Banks in Fall can be windy....and at this time of September it could be either warm or starting to get chilly. Layers is the key. Bring a variety of clothes and definitely something for extremities - gloves, hat and scarf.
Weather -This workshop could involve different shooting environments, so be prepared for whatever the weather may bring. Be sure to bring rain gear for you and your camera gear. Please understand that we cannot guarantee night shooting as it is entirely dependant upon the weather.
Bugs - this area of the country can be very buggy if it is still warm....especially in the morning or evening. Please bring bug repellant with you for this workshop.
