Early Winter on the North Shore Photo Workshop

During the early winter on the north shore, the shoreline gets coated in ice and the waterfalls start to freeze up. Snow that falls often sticks to trees and creates a winter wonderland. It’s the perfect time of year for an Early Winter on the North Shore Photo Workshop.

On this workshop, we’ll explore the north shore as it transitions into winter. The classroom topics will include exposure, working methods, filter usage and composition. You’ll have a chance to practice what you learned in the classroom during the field sessions. The sun rises late and set early this time of year, so the workshop is perfect for getting outside and getting rest on your learning vacation.

This time of year is one of my favorites on the north shore. Each year is different and the photos made during this time can be stormy or calm, snowy and icy or even appear summer-like. The weather is often crazy which results in great shots and if it gets cold enough, we could see sea smoke.

This is a photo workshop that you don’t want to miss.
