SEEING THE LIGHT IN
NEWFOUNDLAND!
August 21 - 24, 2015 In the Rose Blanche Newfoundland Summer Study Centre
A view of Rose Blanche village
A Photography Workshop for Beginner and Intermediate Photographers
Workshop Description
“It’s all about learning to ‘see’ the light, and with a little understanding of composition and a good subject, most novice photographers can quickly learn to take great photos, visit wonderful places, and, above all, have fun”, says workshop leader Dr. Sean Traynor. Sean Traynor is a retired executive living in Atlantic Beach Fl., who has traveled extensively as a nature photographer to Antarctica, the Peruvian Amazon, and the Serengeti. In addition, he has traveled to Brazil’s Pantanal to photograph Jaguars in the wild, as well as to Japan in winter for the snow monkeys and Japanese Cranes. Besides wildlife photography, he is an experienced landscape photographer having photographed extensively in the Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Yosemite, Tanzania, New Zealand, Australia, Tuscany, as well as Maine, Florida, and of course, Newfoundland. http://www.seantraynor.zenfolio.com The granite lighthouse at Rose Blanche
