**** Please note: this is NOT happening every Monday night, this is a Meetup engine artifact, we will arrange a mutually agreeable time ****

Photo Critiques (60-90 minute session): You send us ~10 images to be reviewed. Then we will find a mutually compatible time to meet via Zoom to discuss your work. We will have a conversation -- you get to tell me about where you want to grow and be as an artist, about why you chose these ten images, about how do you approach your photography, etc. Session includes time for the conversation, time for my review of your images, time for your questions, time for feedback about camera settings/composition/focus/or post-processing needs and goals. Please also send the SOOC (straight out of the camera) files too for post-processing suggestions. I will send you a link to send the large vias through, so no worries about sending large files via email, just click and drop your images onto the link. After our live session, you will receive the recorded session for you to keep.

 
 
 

Spring is an amazing time in NH, with the mountains, fields, streams, waterfalls, backroads, the LUPINE, etc!

Come and learn about composition, flowers, landscapes, waterscapes, closeups and more. This area has a plethora of photographic opportunities!

We will work on compositions, creativity, selective focus, flowers, landscape, cloud stacking, possibly star trails/milky way.

• $900 (Single Occupancy) Two nights hotel included. Early Bird.
• $750 (Double Occupancy) Two nights hotel included. Early Bird.
• New for this and for some 2023 workshops. We have a limited number of pre-booked hotels for people who sign up early. Hotels can sell out (this area is popular) and people have gotten locked out of our workshop because of hotels being booked. People who sign up late will have a different workshop price and have to obtain the hotel reservation on their own.
• Food & Transportation are NOT included. We actively encourage, but do not arrange, carpooling to the location (after you have signed up we can put you in touch with other attendees) AND also once you are here it is useful to carpool to locations.

https://amzn.to/3uGQpRG -- diffuser and reflector
