Spring
is some weeks away, but it is still time to begin thinking about the
spring runoff and the seasonal rains which hopefully will be invigorating our
many regional waterfalls. I am an enthusiastic fan of waterfall
photography and there is no better time to capture the excitement than in the
early spring.
This
May I will be running another Spring Waterfall Weekend Workshop, from Friday
evening, May 11th through Sunday May 13th at noon.
2017 Spring Waterfall Workshop
 |
The Workshop at Porcupine Falls
Gilsum, NH
|
Last
year I hosted my first Waterfall Weekend and, with a great group and wonderful
falling waters, we had a fantastic time. The weather was great for waterfall
photography, with overcast skies, occasional fog, and some of the strongest
flows that I had seen in our area. The light, intermittent rain required
shielding of the equipment, but I heard no complaints from my intrepid team.

The
weekend workshop followed my usual, time-tested format. We first gathered
Friday evening, around my dining room table, for a chance to meet everyone, and
review our plans. It was my opportunity to assess the varying levels of
photographic experience among the participants, and consider how everyone would
be accommodated. As always, it was a mixed group, but the consistent
factors were the high level of interest, enthusiasm and the excitement to
learn. I was able to discuss key elements of the photography of flowing
water. We reviewed the importance of a sturdy tripod, a cable release
and, of course, a polarizing filter. We also had a chance to plan Saturdays
schedule.

Over
all day Saturday, and Sunday morning, we explored some of our region’s most
dramatic waterfalls, from the marvelous group of falls in Wilton New Hampshire,
to some lesser known falls in Chesterfield and Gilsum. In total we
explored ten different waterfall locations.
Saturday
evening, we all gathered again around my dining room table for pizza and
discussion of the day’s experiences. We also had a chance for review and gently
critique many of the images from the day’s shooting.

This
year I will be following the same schedule. The Friday evening
get-together on May 11th, followed by an all-day shoot on Saturday
and ending with an evening of pizza and sharing around my informal table.
Sunday morning we will gather again for more falling waters and I will
let you all escape, exhausted but full of wonderful waterfall images, by
noon.
It
should be an exciting weekend and I’m looking forward to sharing many of my
favorite spots.

To
allow for individual attention, the workshop is limited to only
8
participants. The entire program including snacks and an informal dinner
will be $195.
Get
in touch as soon as possible, by email or phone, to get on the workshop list. I look forward
to seeing you.
