Our Comprehensive One Day Adirondack Outdoor Photography Workshops for begining and intermediate photographers feature instruction on many facets of digital and film photography including - camera basics, digital camera features and menus, RAW files, digital workflow, lenses, depth of field, composition, lighting, and various photo techniques. The 8 hour day features about 3 - 4 hours of instruction, Q & A, and critique - and then several hours of photography at nearby photo locations practicing camera techniques and photography principles. One day workshops are limited in size to 6 particpants for individual attention (except for Wild Center workshops).

Advanced Outdoor Photography Workshops are an 8 hour day with a couple of hours of instruction and several hours of photography. Topics will cover various aspects of photography such as --- Wide Angle Landscapes, Panoramas, and Depth of Field --- Creative PhotographyTechniques --Understanding the Weather --- Creating a Sense of Place.
Adirondack Nature Photography Tours are one day photo shoots spent entirely in the field. In addition to brief group discussion, Carl will give individual attention for questions and critique throughout the 8 - 10 hour day.

Both Advanced Workshops and Photo Tours are for intermediate and advanced photographers who are comfortable with camera mechanics and techniques - including aperture / shutter / ISO settings / depth of field. One day photo tours and advanced workshops are limited to 6 partcipants for personal attention and to be less intrusive at photo locations.

Digital Photography / Photoshop Weekend Workshops are for all levels of photographers and offer instruction on the complete digital workflow from image creation to presentation. Subjects covered include shooting for Photoshop, Photoshop basics and tricks, databases, digital camera basics, menus, settings, photo composition and lighting, lenses, depth of field, panoramas, stitching, and presentation.

The Four and Five Day Outdoor Photography Workshops include a mix of comprehensive instruction, critiques, and photography shoots - and allow you to completely immerse yourself in nature photography and photo techniques in unique natural settings. We are doing a 5 day workshop in Acadia National Park on the spectacular Maine Coast, and we are also doing a 4 day fall workshop in the Adirondack High Peaks.

We offer several different Photoshop for Photographers and Artists Workshops. These include a variety of 'digital darkroom' classes for all levels of Photoshop users. The list includes half day Introductory Classes, Intensive Day Long Workshps, and more specific classes on HDR and Sitching Techniques, Advanced Color Work, and Image Restoration. Photoshop workshops are limited to 3 persons each and are based in the Wild Visions, Inc.office at Carl's home in Brant Lake, NY in the southeastern corner of the Adirondack Park.

Carl brings over 30 years of photo experience and enthusiasm for many different aspects of photography to each workshop and tour. He has been working digitally with Photoshop since 1997 and a digital SLR since early 2007 - and thoroughly enjoys the additional freedom afforded by digital photography. He has led photo workshops since the early 1990's and has been presenting photography workshops in Brant Lake since 1997 through Wild Visions, Inc. He has also done workshops for the The Wild Center, the Adirondack Photography Institute, NANPA, the Adirondack Mountain Club, Adirondack Life, the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, the Lake George Association, and the Lower Adirondack Region Arts Council. His coffee table books on the Adirondacks, Lake George, New York State, and Maine have been published by Rizzoli, Voyageur Press, and North Country Books. His photography has been used by publications and businesses around the world. His AV programs have aired on regional PBS stations, and he was interviewed for the May 2008 national PBS special, 'The Adirondacks'.

Greta Heilman, has been instructing Photoshop classes since 2002. She does graphic design in addition to photo enhancement, and works with Photoshop and related Adobe products full time in the Wild Viisions, Inc.office.

It's good to sign up early since the workshops often fill up well ahead of time. We can also schedule private photography or Photoshop workshop sessions for those interested in individual attention and more advanced techniques. For more information, please Email us or contact us by mail or phone.
