During late September, the hills and shoreline surrounding Lake Superior turn a mix of fiery red and yellow. The combination of the dramatic shoreline and moody fall weather makes the north shore the best photography destination in Minnesota. During the fall photography workshop, we’ll visit the best locations to capture fall colors, visit a maple syrup factory and drive roads that will literally take your breath away. During the workshop, you’ll learn compositional techniques, how to use several filters and how to control your camera to capture stunning fall photos
The fall photography workshop consists of classroom time, field time and a slide show review. If the northern lights come out, a possibility in fall, we’ll head out for a late night photography season. Most of the time is spent in the field going to the best places for fall color. I’ll spend the days before the workshop scouting all the locations to ensure that you see areas at peak color. We head out for the sunrise and stay out until sunset on the longest day. Some participants choose to sleep in and skip the sunrise season.
Combine this workshop with a weekend stay for an extended vacation to the northshore during the best time of year for it. If you want to extend your photography instruction, I’m available after the workshop for individual lessons or small group lessons.
