Chesapeake Bay…remote, beautiful, the home to the largest estuary on the continent..and the site of the upcoming Firstlight Chesapeake Bay Workshop.

Welcome to the Firstlight Workshop on Chesapeake Bay
September 25-30, 2005

A 4-day digital photographic workshop that will allow you to immerse yourself in a subject, nurture your photographic instincts, and guide you in digital workflow, shooting, editing and layout.

Along with your instructor you will select assignments from our pre-scouted locations giving you unprecedented access to the area. You’ll spend mornings and afternoons surveying, studying and shooting your subjects and the amazing landscapes. At a pre-assigned time photographers will return to the workshop headquarters to download images and discuss the morning shoot with your photo editor. You will then have the afternoon to further explore the area or go back to your assignment to take advantage of the “golden-hour” of photography. Each evening the instructors will host projection sessions and critiques of the days work while sharing in the camaraderie that Firstlight is famous for.

The final night of the workshop is reserved for a grand finale projection session. Held at the photographer’s headquarters where you will enjoy wine and cheese along with the company of friends and the locals that you spent the week photographing. Firstlight photographers and our guests will also enjoy a gallery show of the week’s “best of” work. The entire process comes to life with the unveiling of our own Firstlight Chesapeake magazine. Your copy of the Firstlight Chesapeake magazine will arrive at your home shortly after the completion of the workshop.

Firstlight can provide a list of accomodatrions in the Cambridge area, ranging from beautiful B&B’s to guest homes to the luxury of the Hyatt Chesapeake hotel.

Bring your own equipment, or use one of the Olympus E1 digital SLR outfits, which will be available for your use at the workshop.
