Vermont Workshop Review
I have just finished my Santa Fe Workshop’s Vermont Fall Color workshop. We had exceptional weather and the season was better than it has been in several years. I think we actually caught the peak of the fall color! The workshop visited a beautiful beaver pond with multiple lodges, several streams with nice colorful reflections, the old traditional farm I did my book on and on the last morning a lake with rising mist and bright reds and golds etched on perfectly still water. As an added treat we came up to my house and photographed three horses- running in the pasture against colorful trees and standing in the paddock for handsome portraits.
My thanks to my co-leaders Jeff Wendorff and Lisa Cueman and to a very nice group of participants who were eager to learn and try different things.

October 25, 2014Question about two images DSC4578 and DSC_1546, they are tack sharp. How did you achieve the degree of sharpness? I enjoyed you slide show. I am eager to see what you will be offering in your 2015 workshop series.

October 26, 2014Hi Walt,
The horse portraits were taken by my students so I can’t say exactly what the settings were but I can tell you how to get that kind of sharpness- you have to have a very, very steady camera. This can be done two ways- 1. with a good tripod and good technique and 2. with a very fast shutter speed, probably a product of a high ISO (above 1000). The very fast shutter speed simulates a very still camera.
I will be putting up my 2015 workshop schedule when I return from my trip to Uganda (mid-November). For the schedule of the new workshops I am doing that combine photography and philanthropy go to this website http://crossroadsphotographicworkshops.com. How’s the coast, Walt?
