The Blue Ridge Parkway at 5000 feet! - A One Day Photo Workshop

Richard Bernabe, outdoor photographer and author, is offering a one day photo workshop in the Blue Ridge Parkway.

This one-day photography tour and instructional workshop will take you through the North Carolina Highcountry during peak fall color via the famed Blue Ridge Parkway. From sunrise to sunset, you will not only see and capture the brillaint autumn color on display, but you will learn important professional photography techniques with your camera.

We will be meeting at 6:30 am in Pisgah Forest near Brevard and then carpool from there to our sunrise location, so if you live more than an hour from Brevard, an overnight stay in or around the area might be a good idea. We will pick up lunch on the road during the day and you will be on your own for dinner after sunset when the workshop ends. Prepare for a long, but very productive day. No long or strenuous hiking is involved, but some walking will be done in order to get some various locations.
Instructional topics will include:

Getting the most out of your digital camera
Getting the right exposure every time
Creating dynamic compositions
How to photograph moving water
How to make colors "pop"
Filters
How to shoot sunrise and sunsets like a pro.
And much more.
