This workshop features a Blackwater sunrise, as well as the opportunity to capture beautiful winter colors. Sunrise is a great time for two reasons: it’s when the wildlife is most active, and the quality of light is amazing and constantly changing. And February there will be both a sunrise and a full moon setting. This workshop will provide information on photographing wildlife at Blackwater, as well as tips and techniques for photographing a sunrise. The meeting time and place will be provided upon registration. Please join us. You’ll see – and photograph – the Blackwater refuge in ways you haven’t before. Min 5 – Max 10
