Mt. Desert Island Adult & Community Education

This is a hybrid class with live, online instruction and in-person photography on location.  Read the full course description for details.

In the first online class, we'll start by learning camera settings, aperture, shutter, ISO, white balance and other compositional techniques critical to lighthouse photography. The following Saturday during the cruise, we’ll focus on photographing wildlife and lighthouses, sharing techniques and approaches. Finally, we’ll meet online the third week to share, learn and critique our images. Limited to 15 students. This workshop is for beginner and intermediate photographers.

Students must purchase their own 3-hour Bar Harbor Whale Watch cruise ticket in addition to the course fee.  

Classes are May 15, 17 (cruise day) and 22.
