Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this on location photography class:

Join us and explore the rich maritime landscapes of Maryland’s Eastern Shore from St. Michaels to Tilghman Island. Learn techniques to capture the essence of maritime life from beautiful wide vistas down to the interesting little details.

We’ll begin shooting a variety of skiffs and typical Chesapeake Bay boats, explore a boat barn and the Hooper Strait Lighthouse. From there we will carpool to Tilghman Island to capture several fishing harbors with iconic boats, crab pots, and harbor scenes.

In spring, the watermen ready their boats for the crabbing season and this is the perfect time for photographers to frame harbor finds, rugged waterman and Chesapeake Bay scenes.

Weather permitting, we might be able to take advantage of the full moon rising and the sun setting.

The coastlines and tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay are home to a long history of maritime life. Harvesting the seafood bounty of the bay required dedicated men and women and a vast array of wooden boats like deadrises and skipjacks. Much of this is available for us to photograph as our instructor knows where to find these gems.

There is a quaint little general store along the way that serves sandwiches, wraps, etc.. We’ll plan to make a stop here.

Since we’ll be finishing at 8:30, our confirmation letter will list some Hotel/Inn options in the area for those that would prefer to stay overnight.

Note:

Fee includes $20 access fee to a boat barn and a dock area to photograph harbor scenes from.

Recommended Equipment:

A digital camera with lens(es) in the range of 16-300mm, 400mm if you have that. A sturdy tripod.
