"Alight at Night"- a Winter Lights Photo Field Trip

Saturday, December 18th 2010 from 4pm to 9:30pm
Upper Canada Village, Morrisburg, Ontario

Nestled next to the St Lawrence River, historic Upper Canada Village is the setting for this truly unique workshop. An 1800's pioneer style village, its rustic old farm buildings and houses have been festively decorated with more than 300,000 coloured lights in hues of red, blue, yellow, orange, green and even lavender!

While a carpet of stars twinkle in the skies above us, for some two hours we will photograph the lit up village with its horse drawn carriages and calleches that clip-clop though the winding, snow-covered trails. Holiday tunes like Karen Carpenter's “Walking Through a Winter Wonderland” floats through the air enhancing the feeling. Truly a magnificent, wintry setting to bestow!

A delightful, three-course banquet follows at the Harvest Barn located inside the village grounds. Vegetarian dishes are available too. We conclude the evening with one more shoot at a surprise location, to be revealed during the feast!

Workshop participants will learn how to enhance their skills at composing and exposing for nightscapes with brightly lit details, at select locations on the snowy grounds. One-on-one instruction includes exposure guidelines, tips on how to evaluate your results on the Histogram, using the "highlights" setting on your camera, composition suggestions, plus other ideas to assure you come away with some superb images from a memorable evening.

Your Advance Reservation and deposit includes instructional material, 3 hours of photography, and a tasty banquet to fuel your creativity. A complete itinerary, road directions to the site, and rendezvous point will be emailed to confirmed participants.
