Superior/Gunflint Photography: Fall Equinox Session

Painting & Photography

Layne Kennedy

Capturing inspiring images of the spectacular fall colors and the rugged landscape of the North is the focus for this fall session. The course offers a unique opportunity to experiment with and explore both digital and 35mm photography with magazine photographer Layne Kennedy. You'll devote time exploring Superior’s shoreline, combing through colorful boreal forests, hiking rivers and discovering the picturesque community of Grand Marais. Primary medium is the 35mm digital camera. The course concludes with each photographer presenting photos to the group. Workshop participants should be prepared with 35mm digital cameras with a variety of lenses. Participants should bring their own cameras, laptop, and media flash cards with abilities to download images and burn CDs on location.

The first evening of the class, Layne will offer a presentation discussing the necessary tools for producing successful magazine-quality photographs. Participants will learn how to tell a story with their images as daily trips explore the pristine shores of Lake Superior and the surrounding Grand Marais community.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
