I have been in a very fortunate position most of my photographic life, to be able to own and shoot with a variety of camera systems, .  But over the years, the digital system that I have done my best work with has been Olympus.  From the ease of the camera body controls, to the in camera stabilization,  and of course the wonderful optics that Olympus produces, and how could I not rave about their sensors, I have produced, output, and sold images primarily from my Olympus tools.  Olympus has an uncanny way of just simply producing the right colors and dynamic range that I look for as a photographer.

Our workshop, in cooperation with Olympus, will teach Olympus users and those who want to become Olympus users all about the cameras and how they operate with all of the intuitive controls as well as extensive menu options for producing wonderful creative images.
This workshop will bring our Olympus companions to Chincoteauge.

 Sign up and join us for your OLYMPUS ADVENTURE

Let me tell you about this incredible place .  It is a photographic paradise beyond anything anyone can write or tell you about

I've made many trips to this location in the past, and have made several trips this year  just to make sure where the best shooting locations are for Egrets, Blue Herons, Snow geese, various duck species, Cormorant, Shore Birds, Sunsets, Sunrises, and the mysteries of the beaches and dunes.  Let's not forget the ancient forests, with Japanese Sika Elk, White Tailed Deer, and elusive Fox Squirrels.  And of course, the Ponies of Assateauge.  You do not want to miss them.

What a wonderful place to immerse yourself in the wonders of nature and at the same time photograph the memories of your experience.  We shall be with you every step of the way, advising about composition, lighting, work flow, and all the essentials that will bring you home with wonderful images.

The Refuge Inn, where we shall be staying is a very comfortable hotel right at the entrance of the Refuge.  The rooms are great, and the conference room where we shall hold our meetings is ideal for discussing the photographic techniques we shall use for this workshop, and for going over digital workflow after our shoots as well as your images.

Friday afternoon we shall all meet in the conference room at 12:30 PM to go over details and photography technique as well as your individual cameras. 

Friday evening we shall gather in the parking lot at 3:45 PM and travel to shoot the sunset over the water, piers and small boats. 

Saturday, we shall meet in the parking lot of the Refuge Inn at 5 AM in order to photograph what should be a beautiful Chincoteague sunrise.

We shall shoot through the day learning macro, scenic, and wildlife photography, and the techniques you need to use. 

We shall then break for dinner and meet up at the conference room at 8 PM.

Sunday, we shall meet in the parking lot at 6 AM and make our way to the beach area for more bird photography.  In 2009 the beach took a lot of damage and hopefully will be opened for our use.  If not there are alternatives.

PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY AND MAKE YOUR ROOM RESERVATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  WE HAVE SET ASIDE TEN ROOMS.

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.

Here is a look at where we shall be shooting.
