		Field Workshop Dates October 8–14, 2005 Leader Len Rue, Jr. Fee $2,395 from Bangor, Maine Deposit $300 Limit 8 Terms and Conditions Client Photo Gallery Rugged, rocky headlands, a lighthouse carved into a granite ledge, a quiet harbor on a foggy morning, tide pools and crashing waves, or a hillside of flaming maples and birches—all of these exciting photographic possibilities describe Acadia National Park in October. Taking advantage of the best morning and evening light, we may photograph Somes Sound (the only fjord on the east coast), traditional coastal villages, the watery world of rocky ledges and tide pools in Seawall and Ship Harbor, or the panorama of Maine's broad, island-studded seacoast. Our visit is timed for the peak of autumn color. Acadia is justly famous for its autumn display, with its mixed forests of beech, maple and hemlock, interspersed with stands of white birch. With luck we will photograph not only the colors themselves, but also their reflections in beaver ponds. We also explore Jordan and Bubble Ponds, nestled between the glacially-carved summits of Sargent and Cadillac Mountains. The 1,530-foot summit of Cadillac Mountain, accessible by car and overlooking the vast horizon of the Maine coast, is a photographer's delight at any time of day, covered with blaze-red huckleberry growing amidst the deeply-cracked granite boulders. Acadia also offers the human-made landscape. Imagine lobster traps piled high, colorful "pot buoys" hanging on a boathouse wall of weathered cedar shakes, handcrafted wooden boats tied to a dock and lobster boats reflected in silvery, still water. One evening will find us catching the late light at Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. Stone barns, inland farms and even the quaint shops of Bar Harbor all offer photo possibilities. These are but a few of the classic Down East flavors we will learn to capture with a camera. Based on Mount Desert Island, this informative field workshop will offer a feast of incomparable autumn colors to entice your camera. Photograph with us atop Cadillac Mountain as the sun rises over the idyllic Down East coast and sets the landscape ablaze with color! Day 1 We offer round-trip van transportation from the Bangor airport to our hotel near Acadia National Park. After settling into our accommodations, we meet again for dinner. (D) Days 2–6 We have a wealth of photographic opportunities during the next five full days on Mount Desert Island and in the immediate surrounding area. Out in the field, photographic possibilities include the many bays and inlets of Acadia National Park—the rocky coast and tide pools along Schooner Head and the shoreline world awash in the shapes and colors of shells, pebbles and seaweed. At first light one morning we will photograph the cobble beach below Otter Cliffs. Each day’s actual itinerary and field topic will depend on the weather, but we will maximize photographic time and opportunities. (BLD) Day 7 We drive to the Bangor airport this morning. Please schedule your return flight for no earlier than noon. (B)
