As the Skyline Drive winds and twists it way around the mountains of Shenendoah park, you’ll find yourself in the middle of close to 200,000 acres of incredible seasonal landscapes with which develop your photographic skills.

We have found and photographed some of the most scenic areas for both sunsets and sunrises.  Early mornings and later evenings will find you waiting with your cameras and lenses in the ready, to record these beautiful vistas.shen images

If we get spring to cooperate we shall travel to one of the most beautiful trillium gardens to photograph.

As we make our way on the many trails,shen flower you’ll find all kinds of early blooming flowers  as well as many other early spring plants, beautiful water falls,  mountain streams, and lots more.

Ray Boc, who who is  our instructor/ guide lives and breaths all of the wonderful secrets of the area, and he will be taking us to areas that the public normally DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TOO.

What a great place to enhance your photographic skills, make new friends, and come away with incredible pictures and memories.

A G E N D A

Things will get rolling on Friday afternoon at noon.  . . You will  meet the other workshop participants, your teachers  and talk about what to expect over the next few days.  Friday evening we shall be shooting the sunset, if weather permits.

Saturday will be a long day. We’ll be in the field early, way before the first light of day so we can capture the beautiful mountain light.  We’ll stay out till breakfast time,  and then head back to the classroom to discuss the morning and what comes next.  We head back out to the field right after our morning meeting and photograph throughout the day.  When we are finished shooting we shall arrive back at the Link to down load your images and have a discussion and critique about those images.

 Sunday morning, we shoot early.  Again weather permitting we shall be out there to capture a beautiful mountain sunrise.  We shall grab a quick breakfast and head out to capture some of the local area beauty.  After all of our shooting is done, we shall head back to the Link for another download and critique and then  a final rap up.

We can’t control our surrounding conditions and, certainly, weather and other conditions are crucial to holding strictly to any agenda.  Because of of this there will be times that we have to make quick changes to original plans, but fear not.  There is always a plan b and c.
