Professional
Photographer Nick Moore, offers Photography workshops throughout the
year. These half day or full day workshops are designed for beginners
and intermediate photographers. The workshops are designed at locations
Nick has thorough knowledge of, maximizing the opportunities at each
location enables a wide variety of shooting situations and subjects.
Due to Nick having relocated from NC to CO in 2007, the following
NC workshops are unavailable. Watch this space for future workshop
news.
Crabtree
Falls:
There are two reasons
that Crabtree meadows on the Blue Ridge Parkway (mile marker 339.5),
are an excellent workshop venue: Spring flowers and of course Crabtree
Falls. The emphasis in this workshop program will be exposure and
composition, and macro photography.
Difficulty: Moderate;
3 mile round-trip along wooded trails.
1/2
day workshops: 4/28/07 or 5/5/07
Full day workshop:
4/28/07 or 5/5/07 (includes Linville Falls top viewpoint)

Mabry
Mill:
Mabry Mill is probably
by far one of the most well known spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway
(mile marker 176.2), as well as one of the most photographed. There
is plenty to photograph here, from the classic Mill reflection (if
lucky with the Rhododendron in bloom), to the Mill wheel and other
exhibits. The emphasis in this workshop program will be exposure and
composition, and finding shots within shots.
Difficulty: Easy;
less than a mile on well marked trails.
1/2 day workshops:
5/19/07
Full day workshop:
5/19/07 (includes Groundhog mountain, Pucketts cabin)

Linville
Falls:
One of the best known
waterfalls in North Carolina provides us with an excellent workshop
venue. Linville gorge is one of the deepest gorges in Eastern USA,
and is one of my personal favorite spots. The emphasis in this workshop
will be exposure and composition, how to create great waterfall images,
and how to shoot cascades/river scenes.
Difficulty: Moderate
to Strenuous; 2 + mile round trip.
1/2 day workshops: 6/9/07 or 6/23/07
Full day workshop: 6/9/07 or 6/23/07 (includes bottom of Gorge
and top viewpoints, and possibly Crabtree Falls)

*2007
Fall colors*:
The Blue Ridge Parkway
and NC mountains burst into life with reds, oranges and yellows during
October. Fall colour can begin as early as late September, and go
through to mid November. I have found in the past, that flexiblity
works best for this workshop. Instead of taking students to the Smoky
Mountains, I like to use the best areas the Blue Ridge Parkway has
to offer. The location of this workshop varies year to year, depending
on where the colors are best, and the date of the workshop - wherever
the color is we'll try and find it. Expect to shoot: waterfalls, cascades,
valleys, and fall colours.
Difficulty: Easy
to Moderate;
1/2 day workshops: 10/13/07 or 10/20/07
Full day workshops: 10/13/07 or 10/20/07

What
to expect from the Workshop:
Our
aim is to encourage personal growth in all aspects of photography,
through hands on experience rather than a classroom approach. We will
guide you to areas of outstanding beauty, and help you see and capture
extraordinary images from what some may see as ordinary scenes. With
a maximum of 5 students per instructor, we can ensure that everyone
gets the best tuition and help that they require. Each workshop will
include the following:
- 5 students maximum
per instructor.
- Expert advice on:
Composition, lighting, exposure.
- Discussion of essential
nature photography equipment.
- Film and Digital
photography catered for.
- workshop information
handout.
- Critique of students
work taken that day.
Recommended
equipment for each workshop: SLR or digital camera with manual
functions, tripod, polarizer.

We
also offer more flexible programs to suit individuals, these one day
Safaris's can be customized to include various locations, various
