Cape Cod Winterscapes Workshop
February 23-25
Winter on Cape Cod is a special time with unique photo opportunities.  Most of the tourists and part time residents are gone. Many businesses are  closed. Beaches, harbors and streets are empty. Over several days we will explore Cape Cod’s winterscapes–everything from the  natural beauty of the beaches , marshes and woodlands to shuttered business and  deserted harbors and streets. We’ll also take advantage of the shorter  daylight hours to experiment with low light and night photography. Along the way we’ll work on winter  shooting tips, how to improve your eye by “seeing” a scene and compose an image, low light and night photography and editing techniques to get your pictures looking their best. Offered through Cape Cod Art Center. Please click for more information.
