Description: This workshop is based in Bar Harbor, Maine, just minutes from some of the best photo locations in Acadia National Park. We will spend approximately 2 hours per day inside learning how to get the best images possible from your cameras.  The rest of our time will be spent exploring nearby locales and photographing Acadia’s iconic coastline, as well as fall foliage in both forested and mountain landscapes.  Specific shooting locations for each day will be determined the night before based on weather forecasts and foliage conditions. Though we won’t be doing any strenuous hiking, you may be expected to walk up to two miles with up to 200 feet of elevation gain. The workshop schedule will be flexible so that we can be out shooting in the best light possible for the subject matter. Jerry will draw on his twenty years of experience shooting in Acadia National Park and his experience in writing his three books about the park when determining the best photo locations.

Lectures will be held at the Atlantic Oceanside Resort in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Lodging: Participants are not required to stay at the Atlantic Oceanside, but they are offering group participants the special rate or $199/night.
