PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

["M. Denis Hill" <denis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pano list members: please pass the word!

The internationally-recognized Coupeville Arts Center announces its
first panoramic photography workshop, "Introduction to Panoramic
Photography" with International Association of Panoramic Photographers
member M. Denis Hill instructing. The April 28-30, 2000 class will
provide a combination of classroom instruction and location photography
on magnificent Whidbey Island, Washington.
Students will gain hands-on experience with a variety of professional
and unconventional panoramic photography gear: rotational, swing lens,
and wide field cameras, as well as essential accessories. They will
develop a personal roadmap to the panoramic equipment, techniques, and
output that match their interests. Discussion will include composition,
renting equipment, electronic uses of panoramic photography, and large
color display printing methods.
Students will use specialty cameras in an inspiring setting during
morning and afternoon field trips to the Coupeville waterfront, Ebey's
Prairie National Historic Reserve, and Fort Casey. Photogenic landmarks
in the area include the Coupeville Wharf and Victorian waterfront area,
Admiralty Head Lighthouse, Mount Baker, Penn Cove, Fort Casey coastal
artillery emplacements, the Olympic range, farms, Fort Ebey, and the
Deception Pass bridge. Hill reports that local wildlife often cooperates
with photographers: Bald eagles, gray whales and orcas are known to
frequent the area. Penn Cove is also home port to a pair of gaff-rigged
schooners and North America’s largest mussel farm.
A Coupeville resident and Arts Center board member, Hill cites his
"local influence" in securing a late April date for the class. "Spring
color adds a welcome accent to the green fir forests, blue water, blue
sky and puffy white clouds that make Whidbey Island an artists’
paradise. Sprouting crops in the fields also add their own hues to the
island palette," he reports. "It’s no accident that Coupeville is home
to a respected institution like the Coupeville Arts Center that attracts
hundreds of artists every year for instruction in photography, painting,
fiber arts and other media."
