Smoky Mountains National Park Spring Photo Tour/Workshop

Springtime in the Smoky Mountains National Park is an amazing chance for photographers to capture the ephemeral beauty of the southern Appalachian Mountains where they reach there most dramatic in terms of scenery, fauna and weather.

When: 4/14/2012 - 4/18-2012
Where: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Townsend, TN
Price: $850.00, Limit of 10

This time frame will put us in the mountains to photograph the Dogwoods in bloom, spring wildflowers dotting the forest floors and the rushing waters of thousands of miles of streams, creeks and rivers. Spring in the Smokies also brings pleasant weather, fog filled valleys and the chance of mountain tops gleaming with snow. In addition to our educational and inspirational field sessions, we will have ample time in classroom to cover fundamentals of equipment/photo technique, software image processing and spirited classroom critiques.

The small village of Townsend, TN near Cades Cove will be our base-camp for discovery. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Talley Ho which is also where we will be conducting our classroom sessions. After registering for the workshop, we will send you a detailed PDF with all of the info you need to make reservations as well as an equipment and clothing checklist for the tour.

Highlights include Cades Cove, Tremont, Clingmans Dome, secret waterfalls, a hike to White Oak Sink, mountain ridges stretching as far as the eye can see, plentiful wildflowers and much, much more!
