2021 Wildflowers and Waterfalls Workshop

This workshop is now full.  Please email me if you would like to be placed on a wait list.

Early spring in Alabama brings with it the beauty of wildflowers and the majesty of waterfalls. No place in Alabama is more beautiful for photographing both that Bankhead National Forest. In early spring, wildflowers such as Virginia blue bells, trillium, jacob's ladder, trout lilies, and phlox carpet the forest floor. We will be photographing waterfalls in the morning and wildflowers in the afternoon.  There will be six positions available for the workshop.

When:  April 3, 2021

Where: Bankhead National Forest, Alabama

Cost: $125

Workshop Schedule:

*5:20 a.m.-Meet at the Warrior Mountain Trading Post in Wren, Alabama.

*6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m- Shoot waterfalls in Key Mill Branch Canyon.  This will be at least a 2 mile hike round trip.  This is a relatively gentle hike until we reach the canyon.  It will                                                    then be a short, steep hike to the bottom.

*11:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m.- Lunch in Moulton, Alabama.

*12:30-3:00 p.m.- Lightroom/Photoshop class in Moulton, Alabama.  You will need your laptop for this part of the workshop. Please have Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, and Photoshop                                    CC on your computer. You do not have to have a laptop for this part but it will certainly help you in learning these programs.  If COVID  regulations are still going                                      on, then we will do wildflowers during the middle of the day and another waterfall session in the afternoon. 

*3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – Hike to the wildflower area.  It is an easy hike and the wildflowers are very close to the road.
