Wild Spring Flowers in Tobermory

This extended holiday weekend (Memorial Day) workshop will be conducted in the beautiful Bruce Peninsula National Park in Ontario Canada located in the middle of Lake Huron. Tobermory is about a 5-hour drive from either Detroit or Toronto and as such is several weeks behind of the spring wildflowers. We expect to photograph Calypso and Rams Head Orchids, Yellow Lady Slippers and the endangered Yellow Lakeside Daisy. This area is replete with photographic opportunities, which include natural caves, rocky beaches, knarly Cyprus trees, dolomite limestone cliffs, lighthouses and much more. A sturdy pair of hiking boots is recommended, as we will need to hike to get to the caves and falls. All camera formats are welcome and instruction will be provided on exposure, filters, close-up and macro techniques and composition. Students should bring a photo backpack we recommend that you carry only the amount of equipment that you can comfortably carry during the hike to the caves and around the lake. This is tripod shooting! Class size is limited to maximize student to teacher ratio. Evening sessions include casual get togethers where participants have an opportunity to discuss the day's events, view slide presentations and enjoy the comradery of fellow students. Participants are encouraged to bring their portfolio for review and critique. Tuition does not include meals, transportation or lodging, but group accommodations have been arranged. Non-shooting spouses are welcome to attend at no additional cost. Be aware that due to the limited availabilities to non-photographic outside activities, they should enjoy hiking and communing with nature.
