“So, you always wanted to take great outdoor photos!”
Here’s your chance to learn the basics or advance your intermediate skills. Lacawac is pleased to present this special hands-on photography workshop with accomplished photo artist Michael Burnside (see www. burnsidephotographic.com ). Workshop is limited to ten participants to insure ample individual attention. Each participant must have a digital SLR or a good point & shoot with adjustable settings. The plan is to spend at most of an hour on the basics such as exposure, focus, equipment, camera settings, composition, point of view, work flow and printing. The second session will be spent outdoors on the grounds of Lacawac photographing nature, landscapes, scenic’s and using the historic Adirondack Great Camp as a architectural photo model. After that, it’s back to the lodge to share, look at each other’s work, and some (gentle) critiquing. Bring the cable you use to transfer your pictures from your camera to your computer so we can load them on a laptop and view them on a wide-screen HDTV. Time may not permit a review of all photos but we\'ll try. Because of the popularity of this workshop we are offering three sessions to choose from. Prepaid reservations are required.

Would you like to see a golden eagle, a peregrine falcon or perhaps, a saw-whet owl? If so, join Bill Streeter, director of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center for Close Encounters With Birds of Prey, to see and learn about these and other birds of prey. You’ll see six live raptors and spend a magical hour gaining a greater knowledge and appreciation of the raptors of the northeast.
Streeter, who has a BA in biology and an MS in zoology, will entertain, as well as educate you with the knowledge he has gained through over 30 years of studying and rehabilitating raptors, and through practicing the ancient art of falconry.Event detail
