During our workshops, we will teach you a number of aspects relating to photography including the following: use of manual settings, dealing with shifting light in an uncontrolled environment, working fast with unpredictable subjects, using simple field techniques in natural and urban settings.
We’ll encourage shooting “outside the box”, being creative and thinking differently.

STAY TUNED FOR LATE-SUMMER 2022 PHOTO WORKSHOPS! – Soon to come!
October 4 to 6: Overnight photo workshop to Algonquin Park.
Workshop fee: $300.00 per pers. HST included – Contact us for registration and / or questions
Algonquin Park is famous for its extensive northern forest habitats. Its large stands of beautiful, uninterrupted coniferous and deciduous forest attract a great variety of wildlife. Although the timing of this workshop is slightly past the historical peak of fall colours in the park, there should still be plenty of colourful photo opportunities. We’ll look for kaleidoscopic tones in the deciduous trees like Red Oak, Sugar Maple and Staghorn Sumac. We’ll also search for interesting patterns of warm hues mixed with cooler greens among the abundant conifers. We plan to start early morning with hopes of catching mist rising from the ponds, creeks and bogs. With luck, we’ll find a few mammals like American Marten, Mink, River Otter, American Beaver, Red Fox, and possibly a Black Bear or a bull Moose with antlers. We often find birds like Canada Jay, Spruce Grouse, Evening Grosbeak and Black-backed Woodpecker (just to name a few). This is Ontario’s most accessible northern wilderness, and we’ll hike some of the more leisurely trails in search of endless and colourful vistas. Some of them rank among the most spectacular in the province. We’ll take our time to study the surroundings with the intention of capturing prize-winning images. If time and conditions permit, and we have enough energy, we’ll go out at night for some star photography. If we do, we’ll also listen for owls, migrating birds and other life forms. This workshop is suitable for any photographer regardless of level.
Some of the topics we’ll discuss and demonstrate include the following:
Interpreting nature’s clues in order to find photographic subject matter
Using proper field techniques to achieve proper exposure, sharpness and clarity
Selecting strong compositions in a colourful natural environment in order to achieve images with high impact
Subjects we’ll look for include landscape, scenery, people, wildlife, close-up/macro, creative lines & patterns
Instructors will guide participants while in the field. We will also provide reviews and/or critiques of participant’s images
Once you register, we will inform you of where to book your accommodation in Whitney
