Overview   The creative possibilities for photographing the Adirondack autumn are limitless, as the mountains and forests explode with color and the waters reflect their many moods.  Come photograph for the sheer joy of creative expression in the Adirondack’s most spectacular season.  
Join renowned Adirondack photographer Mark Bowie as he demonstrates many of the exposure and composition techniques used in his latest book, The Adirondacks: In Celebration of the Seasons.  Weather permitting, Mark will also lead nighttime field sessions, offering tips on capturing unique images of this little-explored facet of the landscape.
The workshop is designed for beginning to intermediate amateur photographers as a series of prime-time outdoor sessions, giving participants plenty of intimate, hands-on field instruction.  Indoor classroom sessions — based at the Big Moose Inn, a 16-room former wilderness lodge on Big Moose Lake — will cover new digital capture techniques that offer photographers more creative possibilities than ever before.  We’ll examine efficient digital workflow from capture to print: image downloading and management, RAW file conversion and image optimization using Lightroom and Photoshop, storage and back-up, printing, and other innovative ways to present your work.  We’ll also have a fun-filled critiquing session featuring participants’ work.  Please bring up to 15 jpeg images stored on CD.
Possible field destinations include the Fulton Chain of Lakes, Moss Lake, Big Moose Lake, Stillwater Reservoir, Bald and Rondaxe Mountains, and the Pigeon Lake Wilderness.
