Fred LeBlanc 2014 Photographic Artistry Workshop Tours


Black & White Digital Photography on Cape Ann Workshop
May 2 - 4, 2014 ( Friday thru Sunday )
 During this workshop we'll tour the other cape of Massachusetts, Cape Ann. We will explore America's oldest seaport Gloucester, established in 1623, with it's active waterfront, Hammond Castle and much more. Also, near by are the quaint seacoast villages of Rockport and Manchester by the Sea with their picturesque harbors and downtowns. This is a workshop about rekindling a love of the abstract qualities of the classic black & white image, it does not mean we can't photograph in color as well. We'll practice the digital art of black & white photography in the field and in the classroom, post processing our images using Lightroom and Niks Silver Efex Pro.  Cost: $ 275.00   Limit: 8

Downeast Coastal Maine Workshop Tour
September 7 - 11, 2014 ( Sunday thru Thursday )
 During this workshop we'll head Downeast along the mid coast of Maine, stopping along the way to make photographs of village seaports, lighthouses, fishing boats and a historic fort. Finally we'll end up in the Acadia National Park with it's rugged coastline, granite cliffs, lakes, scenic overlooks and the highest mountain on the eastern seaboard of the United States. In addition to touring and photographing, most days we will also spend several hours in the classroom downloading images, post processing using Lightroom, Photomatix and Niks software ( Silver Efex Pro and Color efex Pro ) and sharing our images with other workshop members.     Cost: $ 545.00 ( Includes all Fees )    Limit: 8

Olde Cape Cod Workshop Tour
October 10 - 12, 2014 ( Friday thru Sunday )
 October is a special time on Cape Cod. The mornings are cool, the afternoons are warm and the summer tourists have departed for home. In this workshop, we'll explore Cape Cod and discover the beauty of the National Seashore. We'll photograph sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean and sunsets on Cape Cod Bay , explore the many beaches, sand dunes, tidal estuaries, fishing villages and lighthouses. The scenic beauty of Cape Cod makes it easy for most to go home with great snapshots, but for those seeking truly creative fine art images you'll have to work a bit harder. Great artistic photographs are not taken nor made, they are the result of a creative vision applied to the right scene at the perfect time. In addition to touring and photographing, we will also spend several hours in the classroom downloading images, post processing using Lightroom, Photomatix and Niks software ( Silver Efex Pro and Color efex Pro ) and sharing our images with other workshop members.    Cost: $ 275.00     Limit: 8
