October 19-21 Sleepy Hollow and the Hudson Valley for Halloween (NY)


Lance Keimig is the photographer that I am familiar with that does photo shoots at Sleepy Hollow, but here is a second photographer...


October 19-21 Sleepy Hollow and the Hudson Valley for Halloween (NY) $395, limit 10. 
Maybe, just maybe, we will encounter the headless horseman of ?egend of Sleepy Hollow fame. This is your opportunity to visit the historic Sleepy Hollow cemetery and the resting place of Washington Irving. Don’t be fooled. This is one huge cemetery and the names of those resting there reads like a who’s who. Monuments, statues and mausoleums are there to be photographed. But don’t think this is just some cemetery tour. There is much, much more to see, do and photograph including Sunnyside, the Washington Irving Estate; Kykuit, home to four generations of Rockefellers; the historic Philipsburg Estate and the 1883 Lighthouse on the Hudson River right in Sleepy Hollow. There may also be time for a foray into Rockefeller State Park for some nature photography as well. there is so much more than the grave site of Washington Irving as well as the mausoleums of some Classroom sessions and exercises will focus on the creative process and refining our abilities to see compositions more creatively. We will also cover HDR photography and photo-impressionism. As you would expect from workshops of this type, there will be field instruction and time for daily critiques. Activities and content can be modified to meet the needs of workshop participants. Software will be discussed where appropriate. Workshop will begin at 6:30 PM on the 10/19 and end at 4:30 PM on 10/21.

Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of exposure (f/stop and shutter speed) and should know how to operate their equipment. Please bring along the manual for your camera. For multi-day workshops, bring a laptop computer with RAW processing and image editing software in order to prepare images for critique. Any film shooters are encouraged to borrow a digital SLR to make images for critique sessions in order to maximize the workshop learning experience.
The Program: Please note that the actual program could change based on weather and other conditions beyond the leader’s control. Flexibility is the key. Most full days will begin before sunrise and end well into the evening. Again weather permitting, we will be out in the field in time to shoot sunrise and take full advantage of the wonderful early morning light. We will take an extended break for lunch and personal time and resume in the afternoon possibly shooting through sunset. (getting earlier in the Fall). After dinner, we will gather for classroom time and critiquing.
