However! I do have a few of my own words 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 locaton in the past, and just got back, 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
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.
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.
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
We shall shoot through the day learning macro, scenic, and wildlife photography, and the techniques you need to use. Saturday 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.
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.
