WORKSHOP WITH KURT BUDLIGER AND LISA LACASSE
Spring in Vermont, May 27-29, 2016 - email Kurt ASAP if you are interested in attending (see website link below)
Spring in Vermont is one of the most magical times to be outdoors exploring the landscape with a camera. The streams are full, leaves bursting with near fluorescent greens and a variety of spring wildflowers blanket the forest floor. During this intensive weekend photography workshop we'll explore and photograph some of the most stunning Vermont landscapes as they burst with spring color.
Workshops are fun...and a fabulous way to take your photography to the next level - learn so many things - ask any question you may have. Learn to use your wide angle lens, learn how to shoot moving water/waterfalls - slow water, learn how to compose landscapes and intimate landscapes - shoot 2 sunsets and 2 sunrises with time in between to shoot as well - plenty of time to learn what you want to know to take your photography to the next level.
When: May 27-29, 2016 Where: Montpelier Vermont area Price: $595
Additional Info - More workshop info
The workshop will kick off on Friday afternoon, May 27, 2016 at 3:30 PM at the Comfort Inn & Suites at Maplewood in Montpelier, VT with a short reception, introductions and slideshow. We'll spend the next two days out photographing the beautiful Vermont landscape. We will also spend some time indoors learning about post processing workflow and techniques, as well as time for image critique. We'll end the workshop in the late afternoon on Sunday May 29, with plenty of time to get on the road home.
Key Features:
Gain a strong technical foundation in outdoor photography.
Learn the importance of “seeing the light”
Learn how to use filters
Composition and Design
Advanced field techniques
Photograph intimate ponds, woodlands and streams as they burst with spring green
Photograph sunrise and sunsets from rolling mountains and along country roads and farmland
Bring your images to life using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop
Physical Difficulty:There will be no strenuous hiking involved during the workshop and most locations will be close to the road. Some locations, however may involve a short hike of less than a mile with no serious elevation gains. We will be spending a lot of time shooting along streams and waterfalls that will require scrambling over rocks and down hillsides. The terrain in the mountains can be very uneven and sometimes slippery along streams and rivers. Hiking boots and a modest level of health and fitness will greatly enhance your experience.
Accommodations:
Participants are responsible for their own lodging, transportation and meals. Carpooling is encouraged during the workshop to minimize our footprint as well as foster camaraderie. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Comfort Inn & Suites at Maplewood 213 Paine Turnpike N., Montpelier, VT, US, 05602 Phone: (802) 229-2222.
