The Waterfalls of the Duluth Photo Workshop

For this waterfall photography workshop, Duluth serves as the basecamp that offers access to both Wisconsin and Minnesota waterfalls. We’ll also be right on the waterfront in downtown Duluth. This workshop includes classroom instruction on how to photograph landscapes, seascapes and waterfalls. The instruction also includes information on how to use filters to make silky waterfalls. We’ll have the opportunity to photograph waterfalls, sunrises and sunsets and some of the city of Duluth itself. Specific locations depend on the conditions, but could range as far east as Cornucopia, as far north as Tettegouche State Park and as far south as Pattison State Park. Our basecamp in Duluth provides good access to many photo possibilities.
