Join me on a sunset photography workshop at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia Beach. This two hour workshop is suitable for all levels of photographer and is limited to 4 attendees to ensure ample time and attention is given to each attendee. You will leave this workshop with an improved understanding of landscape and nature photography.
The workshop will begin with guided instruction on the foundations of photography tailored to your skill level to ensure that you fully understand your camera and the fundamentals of exposure. We will discuss focusing techniques, lens choice, and compositional considerations. For the more advanced photographer, we will discuss elements of design and advanced exposure techniques to improve your photographs.
Once we have spent time on these essentials of photography, you will put into practice the concepts we discussed and photograph the sunset with your own camera. I will be available to offer advice, instruction, and answer additional questions. Following the workshop you will receive a 45 minute virtual mentoring session to review the images you created during the workshop.
Some topics we could cover include:
How to use manual mode- understanding aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
How to get better focus- understanding focusing modes and points.
How to meter, read and histogram, and exposure images in challenging light.
How to photograph in any light- including overcast, shadow, sunset, and twilight.
How to approach and plan a landscape photography shoot on location.
What to photograph landscape and nature when conditions aren’t what you had hoped.
Additional topics for discussion- time permitting: How to shoot landscape, nature, wildlife, and special techniques including long exposure, macro, moonrise, Lensbaby lenses, manual focus, etc.
*Availability is based on my travel schedule.
