Maine Wildlife Photography Workshop
North Maine Woods Photography Workshops – Join us for an all-inclusive wildlife photography workshop in and around northern Maine’s Baxter State Park – Katahdin Region. Now in their 10th year, group workshops are offered on pre-scheduled weekends during peak Moose viewing in June, September and October. Or, register for a private one-on-one workshop experience where you choose the day(s).
June provides opportunities to photograph a world coming to life after a long Winter making it an an ideal time to photograph in Maine’s North Woods. Moose feed heavily in ponds this time of year, often times along side their cinnamon colored calves. Bull Moose antlers are covered in velvet and can grow as much as an inch a day. Picturesque indigenous wildflowers, rushing waterways, boreal birds, plus other flora and fauna also provide inspiration and opportunities to learn new skills. This workshop session is offered June 19 to 23, starting at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday running through to Sunday at noon.
September and October workshops coincide with the Moose Rut and spectacular Fall color that the Katahdin Region is noted for. Those thirty five pound calves from Spring now have grown a bit, weighing in at about 400 pounds! The massive Bull’s antlers are finished growing, and the velvet has been shed for the mating season. This is the time to capture these magnificent creatures in courtship and mating behavior with a backdrop of Fall color. The Fall workshop start at 2 p.m. on Wednesday and run through to Sunday at noon, from September 25 to 29. Due to popular demand we have added a third workshop to this year’s schedule. With guest photographer, PhotoShop and Lightroom expert Dave Kelly the October 11-15th workshop provides 4 full days of wildlife photography instruction.
