8-Day Photography Workshops

The Color & Character of Tuscany Italy

September 6-13, 2008

Castello di Spannocchia, Photography by Val Doherty.

Honey warm sunlight that bathes a gently rolling agrarian landscape, inhabited by people of uncommon character, warmth, and hospitality. Perhaps no place else on earth do the people and the landscape they inhabit mirror each other so well. Tuscany in the central region of Italy; known for its vineyards, olive groves, timeless architecture, and of course the FOOD, it is a photographer's paradise. "The Color & Character of Tuscany" is a photographic workshop that explores people and place. Our seven day stay is based at the historic Castello di Spannocchia in the heart of the Tuscan region. Our itinerary includes visits to the medieval walled city of Siena, a local winery near Montalcino, the small and charming walled town of Torri, chanting monks in an historic abbey, and lots of wandering down the cypress tree-lined back-roads of the hilly Tuscan countryside. Photographic instruction will include sessions on capturing natural light in landscapes, the environmental portrait, travel photography, using color theory in the viewfinder, and much more.

This workshop is co-taught by Val Doherty of Val Doherty Photography and John Gregor of ColdSnap Photography. For more information call us at (218)-834-0756, or email john@coldsnap.com.

Newfoundland

July 2009--Call now to be placed on the "Participant List"!

This extremely popular workshop will return in 2009! Eight years ago I asked my Aunt Ruth if I should go to Iceland, Norway, or Ireland (she was head of AAA travel for the Midwest and has been around the world several times, so I figured if anyone knew a great place to go it was her.) She said Newfoundland, I looked back at the list of choices I had given her and said, Newfoundland was not on the list. Her reply was that Newfoundland was the most beautiful place she had ever been. Pretty strong recommendation, I was not disappointed and I am sure that you won't either. Our itinerary includes: 3 days of whale watching with Dr Peter Beamish of OceanContact, fishing villages, lighthouses, Cape St. Mary's one of the largest seabird nesting colonies in North America, Caribou herds of the Avalon Peninsula, St. John's the Capitol of Newfoundland, and much, much more. Newfoundland's exquisite scenery is only matched by the altruistic character of its inhabitants. During the workshop there will be instructional sessions on image capture, digital raw conversion, field shoot instruction, and review of images made during the workshop.
