Only 4 spots are available.?Great Northern Peninsula and Baie Verte PeninsulaPrepare for an extraordinary journey where the world of fineart photography meets the excitement of exploration! Join us in Newfoundland and Labrador, a region renowned for its distinctive and seldom-visited coastal areas that are certain to ignite your interest.Billed as an 'artist's retreat,' this journey is open to all, regardless of artistic skill. The discovery of a hidden site, the perfect angle of another, and the ideal time of day to view it are equally beneficial for personal observation. For those serious about their art, this event also serves as a field workshop, focusing on the discovery and approach to various subjects. The primary aim is to equip you with a critical understanding of a scene and the ability to capture its essence, thereby enhancing your personal growth and confidence in applying these skills to your art form. While the goal is to have fun, the aim is to capture the scene, with minimal additions or finishing touches on the computer later, empowering you to create art with confidence and skill.Rendezvous: Deer Lake, NL.How to Get There: If you're flying in, Deer Lake Airport (airport code: YDF) is your best bet for returning your rental car. In the sumer months, Air Canada , for example, offers a one-way trip from Toronto (YYZ) for $ 200.The Itinerary (the skinny)This Itinerary is a journey through history, including Gros Morne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site! With travel to centuries-old outports, some dating to the 1700s, you'll soon fall in love with Newfoundland and Labrador.Our travels take us across the Great Northern Peninsula and the Baie Verte Peninsula. We'll spend our days visiting several hidden locales and travel by boat, where the seas permit, to a number of abandoned outports that are quintessential "Newfoundland," a testament to a bygone era, with its dramatic ocean vistas and craggy rock outcrops providing a stunning backdrop for the wooden structures that dot the landscape. Let it be known. These abandoned buildings are more than just empty structures. They are living, breathing testaments to a Newfoundland culture and way of life that no longer exists. The fact that there has been no restoration perhaps explains why these outports are such potent symbols and, for many, such frightening ones—they have no successors. Factor in the desolation and ruggedness of the landscape—and seascape—that is overwhelming and, as such, inspires fear yet makes these places one of the most marvelous you'll ever see! This is a unique opportunity to witness these structures in their raw, unaltered state, an experience that will inspire and challenge you.From here, we'll travel eastward to the Baie Verte peninsula and visit several outports and breathtaking sea vistas, a colourful palette of options from which you can choose.So where should you start, and what should you do? The fact that you're reading this right now is the key to making the results you've always hoped for. So congratulations. It's time to register.------Featured Photographer/Organizer: Pete Ryan has traveled widely across the province, even reaching the Torngat Mountains in northern Labrador.
