St. John's Pier, St. Augustine, Florida - in HDR. See the heart?

Join the fun on my third annual Florida Photo Caravan. It's a traveling, photographic educational experience starting in historic St. Augustine and ending in Miami’s exciting South Beach. On the road, we stop, and shoot, in Merritt Island and Delray Beach.

Dates: January 18 - 24, 2013 (full but you can get on the waiting list).

Possible send caravan: If there is enough interest, we'll do the caravan in reverse, starting in Miami on January 30th and ending in St. Augustine. Shoot me an email to get on the list

This digital photography workshop will be action-packed with photo opportunities, digital darkroom info, and, of course, fun! With such a small group, you’ll have a great opportunity to learn through personal attention.

Here’s how it works: You drive. You book your own hotel rooms (we will recommend the group hotel). You pay for your own meals. We provide photographic instruction and guidance. And, we arrange shooting locations, meeting times, conference rooms, restaurants, etc.

Old Town in St. Augustine is a cool Town.

You'll need HDR Efex or Photomatix for HDR. Discounts here. You can also order Topaz adjust on that page, which will add to your photo creativity.

Workshop fee: $850.00

We are limiting this Photo Caravan to 10 participants for personalized attention. Spaces go fast!
