Photographing the Detroit Skyline & the Ambassador Bridge at Night - Workshop
Details
Join Bob and a small group of students for this workshop that will train you on photographing the Detroit Skyline and the Ambassador Bridge. The evening sky will be nature's backdrop to this workshop.
Windsor offers the opportunity to capture the Detroit Skyline. The Skyline comes alive with lights and color as the sun sets to the West. The Windsor Parks also offer a variety of photography opportunities - fountains, monuments and features fill their riverside walk-ways. Windsor worked very hard to preserve the waterfront for public access.
