This weekend workshop is tailored for the beginner that has used a camera at least a few times, but it is also useful for more experienced shooters.  While we will be focusing on 35 mm format (film and digital) equipment and techniques, point-and-shoot photographers are also encouraged to participate. We will cover all aspects of nature photography with classroom and outdoor field sessions.  Topics of discussion will include light, composition, equipment, workflow, and how to find images.  The course will be taught by Wil and Donna Hershberger who are both accomplished nature photographers.

The weekend will begin on Friday night (6:30-9:00 p.m.), continue on Saturday (6:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m.), and conclude on Sunday (6:30 a.m.-Noon).  Classroom sessions will be held at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Conservation Training Center just north of Shepherdstown.

Everyone should bring a camera to the course and lenses, tripod and flash (if you have them).  
 

Class size will be limited to 15 participants. The course is open to people of all ages but children younger than 15 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Cancellations  Once your place in the workshop has been confirmed, $25 of the total fee is non-refundable. If a participant is forced to leave the workshop due to injury or illness, a prorated refund of the registration fee (up to 50%) will be given. To be eligible for a refund (minus the deposit), cancellations must be made at least two weeks prior to the start of the workshop. We do reserve the right to cancel the workshop due to low enrollment. There would be a full refund in this situation.  No refunds are allowed for no-shows or after the workshop has begun.
