Description:

Workshop begins at 6:00pm on Friday, February 15, with a welcome meeting and short classroom session at Cape Cod Art Center.

New this year: Off-road excursion to Sandy Neck.

Winter on Cape Cod is a unique time with special photo opportunities.  The tourists and part time residents are gone. Many businesses are closed. Beaches, harbors and streets are empty. In this unique workshop, we will explore Cape Cod’s winterscapes–everything from the natural beauty of the beaches and marshes to shuttered business and deserted harbors and streets. We’ll also take advantage of the shorter day-light hours to experiment with low light photography, shooting some scenes at twilight and beyond. Along the way we’ll work on winter shooting tips, how to improve your eye by “seeing” a scene, low light photography and editing techniques to get your pictures looking their best.

For most of the outdoor field shoots, we’ll carpool to the different locations. For one shoot, we’ll travel by four-wheel drive SUV to photograph the inner dunes and beaches of Sandy Neck and or the  beaches and beach camps of south Nauset Beach. We may even have a chance to photograph a snowy owl!

We’ll begin Friday evening at 6pm at Cape Cod Art Center with a welcome meeting and short classroom session. We then start early on Saturday morning and keep going until evening.  There will be a classroom and critique break midday. Sunday, we begin early with an early morning field shoot and continue through mid-morning. We’ll then head back to CCAC for an editing and review session. Plan to wrap up around 1 pm. Classroom sessions will include editing tips with Photoshop and Lightroom. The sessions will be held at the Cape Cod Art Center, 3480 Route 6A (Main Street), Barnstable Village. However, the itinerary and schedule will be flexible to take advantage of the weather and light conditions.
