It was relaxing, beautiful, rejuvenating and inspiring!

It has beautiful jungle, white sandy beaches, lovely and welcoming people, warm sun and a lovely breeze.

Weekend PhotoJourney on Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Cape Cod National Seashore Weekend Workshop

Friday Evening to Sunday 12 p.m.

ktphoto_capecod2012_768

Writers, painters, and photographers have long enjoyed the benefits of a Cape Cod creative retreat. This magnificent haven boasts incredible sunrises and sunsets, still wild long sandy beaches, ponds and tall grasses, salt marshes, lighthouses, dramatic sand dunes, quaint shops, a even a windmill. September on the Cape is considered by some to be the most lovely, with dramatic light and less crowds.
During the workshop, Kathy will work with each participant to address opportunities to capture unique images and enhance their photographic knowledge and skill. The goal of the workshop is learning in a supportive and fun environment with other photo enthusiasts.

 

We will discuss camera settings and functions that can be used to increase your creativity, exposure, depth of field, rules of composition and other digital tips. The class size is small so the personal attention time is high. We want you to come home with amazing photos and a better understanding of how you achieved them!
