Ridge upon ridge of forest straddles the border between North Carolina and Tennessee in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Established in 1926, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is comprised of ridge upon ridge of seemingly endless forest on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. Called the Smokies due to the ever-present morning fog, this mountain range is world-renowned for the diversity of its plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and its history of southern Appalachian mountain culture.
During your 3 days of the workshop, you will be guided to some of the most perfect locations, and given hands-on instruction on how to make stunning IR images. If you arrive with an interest in learning, you will leave with beautiful images. We will shoot for 2 days and spend 1 day in post-production. The schedule may be altered due to weather and group interests.
We will meet each morning and proceed to spend as much time as possible exploring this wonderful park.
