Sunrise and Sunset Photo Workshops!

Dan Waters and Dan Beauvais of Outer Banks Photo Workshops are excited to announce weekly sunrise and sunset photo workshop offerings!  Each week from now through September, there will be a Wednesday morning Sunrise Workshop at Manteo Waterfront, and a Thursday evening Sunset Workshop on Jockey’s Ridge.  The workshops are $48 each.

These locations each offer tremendous photo possibilities.  They are offered at the time of day that presents the best quality of light, a key differentiator between ho-hum and exciting images!

This is a perfect opportunity to sharpen your photographic skills, and add some outstanding images to celebrate your stay on the Outer Banks.

Call 252-491-8437 to register today!

Images from Lighthouse and Seascapes Photo Workshop

These are a few photos taken by Tanya Gills on our Lighthouse and Seascape Photo Workshop. This workshop started out with an introductory slide show and critique Friday evening. Saturday morning we made it to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse before sunrise. Next we went to Bodie Island Lighthouse where we photographed the unusual sight of Bodie Island shrouded with scaffolding, something never seen before. After our break, it was to Jockeys Ridge State Park for some late afternoon sand dune photos. Then we stopped by the Outer Banks Pier on are way to photograph sunset at the Manteo waterfront. Sunday morning it was up to Corolla to photograph the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the beach as the sun came up. We then had a small critique of the photos that were taken, over coffee and said our goodbyes. What a great weekend!

Here are three images taken by one of our students, Michele Deans, while on our Photography Basics for Beginners Workshop. It was a beautiful morning and afternoon. We had fun working with our students and wanted to share some of their images taken that day.
