The Finger Lakes Region of New York boasts one of the best concentrations of world class waterfalls in the U.S. What could be better than spending a long weekend photographing some many of these waterfalls? Photographing them with fall color!
This 5 day workshop will be dedicated to the techniques involved with photographing waterfalls in the Finger Lakes Region near Ithaca and Watkins Glen, New York. Each day we will head into the field to capture a number of my favorite waterfalls, including Taughannock Falls, Watkins Glen, Buttermilk Falls and Ithaca Falls as well as Robert Treman & Letchworth State Parks. Each afternoon we will return to a lovely Craftsman Cottage near Ithaca to take part in classroom sessions and post-processing our images. The workshop will end with a group slide show and critique on Sunday morning.
