Prior to dawn on Saturday\, the class participants will depart for the beach to photograph sunrise and take advantage of the soft\, warm early morning light.  Potential subjects during the workshop include the sunrise\, sand dunes\, shells\, the surf\, beach vegetation\, fisherman\, the wild horses of Assateague Island\, and local wildlife (whitetail deer\, fox\, raccoons\, herons\, rails\, geese\, ducks\, shorebirds\, and other resident and migratory species.)  Mid-day Saturday will be set aside for editing images and a review of photos taken during the morning. The remainder of the afternoon will be devoted to more photography of island inhabitants\, the beach\, and sunset.  Sunday\, photography will begin at dawn and continue through the morning.  Mid-day editing will be followed by a final critique of images with the workshop ending at 1 to 2 pm.  The number of participants is limited to 12. \nGreat Blue Heron challenging another bird. \nSCHEDULE (2026):\nFriday \n Orientation (7:00 PM-8:15 PM) \nSaturday \n Sunrise –9:30 AM (photography) \n9:30 AM – 1:00 PM (edit images\, lunch) \n  1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (critique of images) \n  3:00 PM – Sunset (photography) \nSunday \nSunrise – 9:30 AM (photography) \n Mid-Day (lunch & prep images for review) \n12:00 PM – 2:00 PM (critique) \nSnow fence with ripples in the sand at an early hour at Assateague Island National Seashore \nMockingbird singing. \nNotes: \nThe timing of excursions will be adjusted as needed based on the weather\, subject availability\, results from my pre-workshop scouting to determine the best photo opportunities\, and the desires of the class participants.
