First post from “Winter Light on the Chesapeake” Workshop

Good day, I’m now in Cambridge, Maryland for our two, back-to-back FirstLight “Winter Light on the Chesapeake” Workshops.  My co-instructor and good friend, Dave Harp, and I spent the day driving through the area in and around the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.  This is the heart of the area in which we’ll be photographing during the workshops.

Marshes, estuaries, grasses. Wildlife and beautiful winter light should make for a great workshop experience for everyone.  I’ve posted a few images I shot today as Dave and I drove through the area.  Come back to the site, we’ll be posting pictures on a regular basis..wish you were here!!

Bald eagles in the Blackwater Refuge

I’m shooting this workshop almost exclusively with the Olympus Pen cameras-all the photos on this page were shot with the Pens.  My lenses range from a 9-18mm (18-36mm length in 35mm equivalent) to a 75-300mm (150-600mm equivalent) Incredible portability, high quality and awide selection of lenses makes this my “go to” system more and more often.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out “The Photo Society”, I strongly urge you to visit this website.   It’s one place you can see the work of National Geographic photographers, built by NG photographers…it’s well worth your time.

A last bit of news: I’m finally updating my website, this is a complete makeover, and we’re really excited to hear your reaction once it’s launched.  I’ll be Tweeting and FB’ing that notice in the very near future..love to hear your response!
