DESCRIPTION
This photo workshop is designed for those with a basic knowledge of the
operation of a 35 mm SLR digital camera and an interest in nature. Learn how to
improve photographic skills and optimize the use of your camera. Class includes
an orientation slide program followed by photography sessions on Chincoteague
National Wildlife Refuge, Assateague Island and in the town of Chincoteague.
Workshop will also include group discussions of images from the workshop and a
DVD summarizing the concepts covered during the weekend. Topics discussed
include 1) equipment selection and operation, 2) composition, creativity and
perspective, 3) metering and exposure, 4) lighting, 5) digital media and image
storage, 6) basic image manipulation and 7) locating, approaching and
photographing wildlife.
Based on findings from scouting area prior to the workshop, the following will be discussed at the workshop: departure time, current field conditions, potential subjects, equipment needed, safety, field ethics, and other logistical details. Prior to dawn on Saturday, the class participants will depart for the wildlife refuge to photograph sunrise and take advantage of the soft, warm early morning light. Because wildlife is protected on the refuge, animals are abundant and unusually tolerant of humans to the pleasure of most photographers. Situated on the Atlantic Flyway, Chincoteague is a resting and refueling spot for migrating birds. Potential subjects include sand dunes, shells, the surf, flowers, fishing boats, fisherman, the lighthouse, and local architecture plus wildlife including sika elk and whitetail deer, fox, otters, raccoons, ponies, herons, rails, swans, geese, ducks, shorebirds and other resident and migratory species.
Students are responsible for their own accommodations, food,
transportation, and park/refuge fees. For a complete listing of accommodations,

location for the lectures & critiques has not been determined.
The workshop is limited to 10 participants. Sponsored by the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. For more information visit www.wardmuseum.org.
