WHAT TO EXPECT
MORNING: We'll be at a photography location in advance of morning light and we'll stay at that location through sunrise. Sometimes we relocate to another photo location before going to breakfast.
MIDDAY: A lot of time is spent in the field on this workshop. We will have some midday time to aid with post processing, but it is not emphasized on this workshop.
EVENING: Evenings during the workshop are a wonderful time to capture the beauty of Acadia in a different light. Each evening, we'll head to a stunning photography location for several hours, allowing plenty of time to experiment and refine your skills. Because Bar Harbor can be bustling in the evenings, we adapt with flexibility—group dinners are not scheduled every night, giving participants the option to break into smaller groups for a more intimate dining experience. This allows everyone to enjoy a more relaxed evening and connect with fellow photographers in a way that suits their style. Whether you prefer the energy of a small group or a quiet snack before bed, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

WORKSHOP DETAILS
EXPERIENCE: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
GROUP SIZE: Target number of participants is 8.
EFFORT: Easy
Our Acadia National Park photography workshop is designed to help everyone enjoy this amazing place, with explorations that balance adventure and ease. We'll take two leisurely strolls along Acadia's famous carriage roads, approximately one mile each way, with mild elevation gain, and explore the stunning shorelines, where the terrain can be a bit uneven, with areas of loose ground—think sandy beach and rocky shorelines—and on one occasion, you may have to scramble four feet onto a rock shelf with the assistance of hands. While we encourage a spirit of adventure, our focus is on creating a fun, supportive, and accessible experience for all participants, regardless of activity level. We want everyone to be able to focus on capturing stunning images while enjoying the natural beauty of Acadia.
CONDITIONS: Mornings may be very chilly.
