ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

New England in October is one of my favorite places to be during the fall season. The amazingly bright reds, yellows, oranges, and even some purples seem to glow so much brighter here than anywhere else. We will spend 5 days to explore Many area's in Vermont and possibly New Hampshire. We will end up making drives to where the colors are the best, so we may venture out of state one day to New Hampshire as well. We will have scenic drives each day photographing covered bridges, farms, waterfalls and other scenic grist mills amongst the fall foliage. I have made 17 trips to Vermont over the years and I can never get enough of it. We will cover area's from Southern Vermont all the way up into Northern Vermont chasing the colors and amazing photo opportunities that await us.

We will spend the first two nights in the lovely town of Manchester, VT. After 2 nights here, we will venture north for a couple nights before ending back up in Manchester to end the workshop.

AUTUMN RIVER

There are many covered bridges in Vermont to say the least, waterfalls and grist mills also pepper the landscape and many ponds and lakes are surrounded by beautiful fall colors. We will be able to use our drones where permitted to capture the landscape from above in a variety of locations as well. We will also taken advantage of photographing some of these locations at night under moonlit skies. We will also have a Full Moon Photo OP as well! Due to our far northern locations we may even get lucky with some northern lights a night or two as well.

Manchester Center will be out meeting location for our first day and we will spend the night there, The following day we will make our way into northern Vermont taking some amazing scenic drives past farms, covered bridges and waterfalls along our way. The drive up will reveal where the best colors are and we will concentrate on those area's the remaining days after visiting some scenic area's up north.

Most of our days will be spent out in the field driving to different locations and visiting quaint country towns with fall colors exploding around every turn. We will get a taste of the entire state and will be rewarded with some of the best fall colors and night sky photography opportunities in Vermont. Vermont is not that big, so we can cover lots of ground in just a short period of time.
