When a place is as wonderful as West Virginia you owe it
to yourself to see it in all of its seasonal glory – every season – and
summer is no exception. Glorious Flowers in a Glorious Place – can’t get
much better. So here we are again in a different season in a different area
of West Virginia. We avoid hot and sticky so if we thought it would be hot,
humid and sticky we would not even consider having a summer workshop there.
And we certainly would not have taken up residence there. But in these
mountains the bugs are few and the nighttimes cool. We have found that at
this time of year there is an abundance of wildflowers mixed in with scenics
so numerous we never make it to all those on the agenda. The wildflowers
enhance other photographic opportunities, stand alone against uninterrupted
glory and/or make for fantastic macro work; placed in the foreground and
photographed with a wide angle they create depth within the photo. We will
shoot along the Greenbrier River Trail, the scenic highway, the glades,
waterfalls, barns, all around town and surrounding towns. For those of you
who know us, you know we will take advantage of every ‘photo op’ we can
find! And even though we provide most of the meals, food comes second to
capturing good light.
Meals will be served out of our little West Virginia Get Away with the
exception of breakfast which will be served in the conference room of the
Motor Lodge. We begin on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. in the conference room at
the Marlinton Motor Inn and end on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Price of $775
includes most meals but not lodging. A block of rooms has been reserved for
your convenience. It is suggested that you make your reservation as soon as
possible.
