What better place to improve your photography skills than in the Smokies during
the peak of fall leaf color? Join us for the weekend as photographer Willard Clay shares the splendors of fall in the Smokies. Field sessions and lectures will cover the use of light, composition, landscape photography, close-ups, and how to find the "right" picture. An emphasis will be placed on digital photography, however all formats are welcome. The program will combine natural history interpretation with photographic technique and is designed for intermediate to professional photographers. Program lasts from Friday supper to Monday mid-morning. This workshop fills quickly, so register early!
