Spring Photo Workshop   April 18-21, 2008

 “Will is truly passionate about his work AND willing to share”
“I have been to other photo workshops, but by far this outdoes any prior experience”
“All the instructors, were excellent… incredibly helpful in the field and back on campus”

This is your chance to capture the wonder of sunrise, sunset, wildflowers and lavish landscapes!  Spring in the Smokies is a time like no other.  Wildflowers carpet the landscape and drip from every cliff. Nationally recognized nature photographer Bill Lea will lead a workshop emphasizing wildlife, landscape, and macro photography. Bill and David tailor the program to the skill level and interests of each individual participant with plenty of one-on-one instruction. Field sessions and lectures will cover the use of light, composition, and equipment.

This workshop fills quickly, so register early!

Cost: $540
