In this one-day nature photography tour you will travel to several destinations that are all within a reasonable distance of each other. You’ll spend 90% of the day shooting pictures at beautiful nearby Adirondack lakes and waterways. This nature photography tour is designed for those who are already comfortable with camera basics such as the relationship between aperture\, shutter and ISO settings. Start this eight-hour day with a very brief discussion\, then take the rest of the day to play with photo techniques in the field at nearby photo locations. A great class for those who wish to receive mentoring while in the field.

Ice forms into an endless variety of shapes and patterns along lake shorelines\, streams\, and rivers that can be enhanced with a soft covering of snow. Snowflakes and ice provide great options for macro photography. With sunset at 5:30pm\, we’ll be working with golden hour light in addition to sunset color and afterglow possibilities. Spend a day photographing the beautiful winter landscapes in the southeastern Adirondacks with Carl Heilman as your guide and mentor. After meeting briefly at the Folk School for an introduction and to cover any initial questions\, the rest of the day will be spent photographing at several nearby locations. There are many beautiful winter vistas within a half hour of the Folk School to take best advantage of the dramatic winter landscape. This nature photography tour is designed for those who are already comfortable with camera basics such as the relationship between aperture\, shutter and ISO settings.

Having experienced and photographed the August 21\, 2017 total eclipse in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park\, I thought I’d share tips and techniques that could help others photograph the 2024 eclipse. Standing in the dusky darkness of totality\, and looking up to the dark side of the moon\, surrounded by the eerie glow of the sun’s corona is a lifetime experience you will not want to miss. Having the right equipment and practicing photo techniques ahead of time will allow you to capture stunning eclipse photos\, and also be relaxed enough to enjoy this unique experience. The suggested equipment and information will help you photograph the sun at any time\, capturing sunspots and other solar features with additional equipment\, as well as offer settings for photographing the sun during the eclipse. This is the last total solar eclipse to traverse the continental United States until August 12\, 2045.

After meeting briefly at the Folk School for an introduction to night photography and some time for Q & A\, the group will travel to nearby photo destinations along the roadways\, lakes and waterways. After the sun sets at 7:55\, we’ll photograph in the twilight as the stars come out. There will be potential Milky Way photo ops before the moon rises at 9:20 PM\, which will offer yet another dimension to photographing the nighttime Adirondack landscape.

Ice forms into an endless variety of shapes and patterns along lake shorelines\, streams\, and rivers that can be enhanced with a soft covering of snow. Snowflakes and ice provide great options for macro photography. With sunset at 5:30pm\, we’ll be working with golden hour light in addition to sunset color and afterglow possibilities. Spend a day photographing the beautiful winter landscapes in the southeastern Adirondacks with Carl Heilman as your guide and mentor. After meeting briefly at the Folk School for an introduction and to cover any initial questions\, the rest of the day will be spent photographing at several nearby locations. There are many beautiful winter vistas within a half hour of the Folk School to take best advantage of the dramatic winter landscape. This nature photography tour is designed for those who are already comfortable with camera basics such as the relationship between aperture\, shutter and ISO settings.
