HDR and Macro at Historic Farmstead, Doctor, Dentist, Barber shop, etc.

This Farmstead museum is chock full of things: kitchen, a general store, farm equipment, a barber shop, dentist and doctor paraphernalia, you name it. It has LOTS for still life, closeup, macro, and is perfect for HDR.

We have been here many times. Cost $229. The Farmstead in NJ is ~75 miles from the GW bridge.

We will have the place to ourselves, with tripods allowed (hand holding fine too but a tripod can make HDR and lightpainting easier)

Upon arrival Tom will provide everyone with a walk through overview of the various photo ops and compositions to look for! We have been there many times so we can help you make the most of your experience. Some people come just for access to the location and that is fine, but Tom will help those people that want it with their camera settings for the first hour. You are always welcome any time during the tour to come see us if you have questions about exposure, HDR, bracketing, composition, etc.

FYI. There is a bathroom on the premises and it is an easy place to get around, and you can even work out of your car rather than carry your camera bag. There are tables in the administration office (heat or A/C) if you need a snack or a rest. We will eat lunch inside around 12:30 (bring your lunch, not much fast food around, some decent restaurants, but nothing that you can run out quickly and get during the day)

Please note that all of our workshops require the participants sign a liability waiver. Download it here https://tinyurl.com/Waiver22Cuchara; then print, read and sign it. Some venues may also require a location liability waiver.

"The Museum property was once part of John Holcombe's "Plantation", according to his will of 1742. In 1968, the Farmstead was donated to the Hunterdon County Historical Society, Today, some of the exhibits arranged in the barn cover the tools and equipment used by the farmer to raise and harvest the crops that provided fodder for livestock and commodities to sell. Other displays cover the domestic chores of the farmer's wife in the preparation and preservation of food and the making of clothing. Early examples of now common implements and appliances give the visitor a sense of passing time. The Museum's volunteers and Trustees have restored the property and added outbuildings for the Post Office, General Store, Blacksmith Shop, Carriage Shed, and Print Shop."
