We have timed this workshop to hopefully catch the Blue Berry bushes on Dolly Sods turning red for the autumn. The workshop will start out with a sunrise shoot at Bear Rocks Preserve on Dolly Sods where you will be able to photograph sweeping vistas, granite rock out crossings and miles of blue berry sods dressed in autumn reds, yellow and purples. After sunrise, we will be shooting a few other areas up on Dolly Sods looking for amazing woodland and forest scenes. After we have had several hours of great photography, we will head down to Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center in the valley for a bite to eat at the restaurant. After brunch/lunch, we will head into class for 2 hours where Joe will be covering his image editing workflow.
After class, we will head up to photograph at Dolly Sods once again for the remainder of the afternoon and sunset. The workshop concludes after sunset.
This one day workshop is rated easy - moderate depending on your level of fitness. There are no long hikes, but you must be able to hop over rocks and navigate over uneven and rocky terrain.
