Chincoteague on the Eastern Shore, Virginia
Nov. 8-11, 2017


If you have heard of the annual pony round up in Assateague, then you are familiar with Chincoteague; they are side by side. This is an island on the Eastern Shore, home to the Chincoteague ponies. Seldom do we visit when we do not get to photograph these wonderful creatures. One year we photographed a foal in the herd; most unusual. You won’t be disappointed with the wide variety of subjects: a lighthouse, Sika Elk, fishing vessels, buoys, fishermen, reflections, ponies, White Tail Deer, scenics, sunrises and sunsets, sea foam rainbows and thousands of Snow Geese coming and going (if mother nature cooperates). If you take the time to allow, the beauty of this place will wrap your soul and help you see beyond the obvious as will we. The sun rises and sets every day each with its own patterns and light. If you have never seen hundreds and hundreds of Snow Geese lit by the light of dawn or dusk, you are missing out. And last year we delighted in photographing two otters just frolicking and teasing us as we followed them up and down the canal tripping over our tripods. They were as curious about us as we were of them.

Even if bird photography is not your “thing”, there is somethingfor everyone in this wonderful Wildlife Refuge as described above. This workshop is definitely not just a birding expedition, it is simply that many species of birds migrate here and make themselves readily available to you and your camera.

We’ll meet on Wednesday the 8th at 6:00 p.m. in the conference room of the motel and end around 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Our motel is conveniently located off Maddox Blvd. Breakfasts is included in the price. The cost $795.00. There is an additional fee for non participants of $25.00.
