Description
Itinerary
The itinerary for the Spring in the Great Smoky Mountains Photography Workshop is completely in the field. We’ll start at sunrise and end the day at sunset, so be prepared for long days. Depending on the conditions, we may swing into town for either lunch or dinner. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is vast, so it’s hard to see it all on one workshop, so this workshop has been designed to complement the locations on my Fall in the Smokies Workshop. We’ll go to locations that my fall workshop doesn’t visit (other than sunrise and sunset locations). The workshop will concentrate on the historic cabins in the park, the waterfalls and the spring flowers.
- Day One: Meet for an early morning and stay in the field until sunset.
- Day Two: Sunrise to sunset in the field. We’ll discuss composition.
- Day Three: Sunrise to sunset in the field. We’ll continue to fine-tune your compositions and techniques.
- Day Four: Sunrise to sunset in the field. We’ll continue to fine-tune your compositions and techniques.
- Day Five: Workshop ends after sunrise.
Note: The itinerary will be fluid based on the weather.
