Highlights of PENNSYLVANIA Waterfall Photography Workshop
Description of PENNSYLVANIA Waterfall Photography Workshop
Pennsylvania’s Rickett’s Glen State Park has 24 waterfalls within the park and a host more in the surrounding area. Each season in Pennsylvania has its own opportunities and challenges whether they be snow and ice, spring wildflowers or autumn color. We will incorporate the spirit of the seasons into our learning process and images.
Capturing waterfalls, a continuously flowing subject, requires a delicate balance of the available light through proper use of aperture and shutter-speed. This workshop will show you how and when to use different shutter-speeds to convey your mood. The use of different lenses, aperture settings and other professional techniques will be discussed to help you create images to place on your wall, not in the waste basket.
