Tony Sweet Photography 2010 Workshop Schedule

Tony Sweet Photography 2010 Workshop Schedule with instructors Tony Sweet & Susan Milestone Please e-mail Susan susan@tonysweet.com to sign up for the workshop.

March 28 to April 1 - Charleston, SC $1050, limit 10
This is a wonderful historic city with numerous photo venues. We'll be spending our time photographing Magnolia Plantation, where explosions of colorful flowers, huge oak trees draped with moss, and bald cyprus swamps signal the beginning of spring time. Historic Charleston architecture and the famous White Point Park (The Batterie) full of azalea, along the waterfront.

April 7 to 11 - Digital Edge Elite Software/HDR - Charleston, SC $1650, limit 5
Join Tony in Charleston, SC for this exclusive shooting & software workshop. We will be out photographing every day, but will reserve ample class time to work on images using NikSoftware plug-ins, Alien Skin, Topaz, Helicon Focus, and Photomatix HDR software. There will be ample individual help with raw processing and workflow. Discussions will be conducted at each location on how to "shoot for the software" and pre-visualizeing the final results, which may not be readily apparent when viewing a scene.

May 2 to 6 - Badlands, SD $1050, limit 10
This place is like shooting on the moon, Incredible, colorful, graphic , easily accessible, and wide open to interpretation from stitched pans to HDR. There are many outstanding venues for first and last light. The Sheep Mountain area is particularly graphic at sunset, (be aware Sheep Mountain is very remote and there are no bathrooms for 40 miles) The terrain goes from full frame sand stone teepees to soft rolling hills populated by cottonwood trees. Buffalo may be seen in the area, as are prairie dog towns! As with all of our workshops, there is ample field instruction and daily critiques. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and they'll be software and compositional presentations.

September 12 to 16 - Great Smoky Mountains, TN $1050, limit 10
This is a great time to be in the Smokies. Although it’s not quite fall, the greens are very full and slightly over grown, creating a sense of wildness not apparent when the park is more “manicured.” There can be ample fog, gentle rain, and flowing streams, dewy spiderwebs, and some wildflowers are still with us. The skies can be quite dramatic and the changeable weather lends the Smokies to ever changing scenic possibilities. Since sunset opportunities are limited, we’ll spend at least one evening in the class discussing and illustrating workflow and software used to punch up and/ or transform your images.

October 3 to 7 - Fall Photo Tour - White Mountains, NH $1050, limit 10
The White Mountains in NH is one of the best fall venues in the country, featuring brilliant reds and golds, colorful flowing streams, overlooks, birch forests, and numerous macro opportunities. This is a tour where class instructions will be plentiful, but field instruction will be minimal. We will be visiting our favorite locations, some very specific and generally not well known. The color window is very short and we'll be shooting along with the class, but will always be available for field help when needed.

October 13 to 17 - Acadia, ME $1050, limit 10
Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine has the most rugged coastlines on the east coast, but very accessible: pink granite, cliffs, ponds, lakes, fall color, and overlooks. As with all of our workshops, there is ample field instruction and daily critiques. We'll touch on the various software that we use on images supplied for the critique sessions and they'll be software and compositional presentations.
