November is traditionally storm season on Lake Superior. Stormy seas, fall skies and Superior's mighty shores are some of the most dramatic and powerful landscapes a photographer could dream of. Capturing them on film or digitally is a passion of artist Rob Stimpson. This workshop, timed to take perfect advantage of Superior's surely moods and spectacular scenery, will appeal to the person who knows the workings of their camera and wants to create, not just take, photographs.
As the course progresses, you will begin to develop your eye and see new photo opportunities in the many different sites and scenes that the area has to offer. There will be plenty of time for shooting, critiquing and sharing techniques. With the opportunity to view your images throughout the course, you will have a chance to see how your work is evolving. For those who want to spend time editing images on their computers there will time allocated each day for this activity.
This is a photo workshop -- the bulk of our time will be spent shooting and doing assignments.
The workshop is based from Naturally Superior Adventures lodge, located right on the shore of Lake Superior. The front room affords 'Superior' vistas and is the perfect place for discussions and evening relaxation. 'Rock Island' as our site is known locally, is becoming a popular spot for storm watchers to gather as Superior's fury crashes upon our rocky shores. During the course of the workshop we may have the opportunity to take to the waters by canoe or kayak, travel to other local photographic hotspots (such as Old Woman Bay or the Badlands) or hike some of Superior rugged headlands as weather and interest permit.
