Each section of the Adirondack Park is distinctively different, harboring its own scenic wonders. The Saranac lakes region is carpeted with lush forests sprinkled with island studded lakes and ponds, flowing waters and tamarack bogs. the mix of deciduous trees and evergreens creates tapestries of bold color; yellows, oranges and reds are mixed with aquamarine, tangerine, cherry, peach — some of the richest autumn scenery in the Adirondack Park. The colors also create impressionistic paintings on the waters. With the changing of the seasons, fog rises from the waters most mornings, softening the colors to beautiful pastels. The possibilities for creative photography here are unbounded.Â

Mark Bowie, Adirondack Life contributor and author of three photography books on the Adirondacks, has worked extensively in this area. He'll be joined by Chris Murray, also an Adirondack Life contributor and passionate teacher. They’ll be your guides, and the emphasis will be on shooting, shooting, shooting! You will typically shoot for several hours around sunrise and sunset each day, and other times as favorable lighting conditions present themselves. You'll even photograph the moody blues of twilight and the magnificent Adirondack night sky.
Field lessons will include tips and techniques on:
reading and shooting the light
photographing autumn forests, waterways and reflections
fine tuning compositions
determining proper exposure in a variety of conditions
varying shutter speed for creative effect
achieving critical focus
working with your range of lenses, from wide angle to telephoto
shooting color and tonal palettes for creative effect
using Live View to compose and focus
using the LCD screen and histogram to refine compositions, check exposures and confirm focus
Mark and Chris will also give indoor instructional sessions on:
the Art of Seeing Creatively
artistic opportunities unique to autumn
optimizing images in Lightroom and Photoshop
blending multiple exposures of the same scene as panoramas and HDR’s, and using layer masks and focus stacking
We will also have image review sessions of participants’ work shot during the event.
Join Mark & Chris as they help elevate your fall photography beyond the commonplace to artistic excellence!
