February 22-24, 2013
Have you every wanted to try a new hobby or learn a new skill, but didn't know where to go or where to start. Jenny Wiley State Resort Park offers a wonderful opportunity to learn a new skill and acquire a hobby that will offer years of rewarding experiences. Most workshops are setup for those who are already well rounded in the field of photography, but not this workshop. Whether you are an experience photography from the rolled film days, or you have just picked up a camera for the first time this workshop has something for everyone.
Some of the excursions that you will experience during this adventurous weekend will be the opportunity to visit and learn about a working mid 1800's settlement known as the "Mountain Home Place" in Paintsville, Kentucky. Also, we will take an elk tour where you will have a chance to get up close to one of Kentucky's most majestic species of wildlife. We will discuss the history of the elk restoration project and the unique characteristics that this precious natural resource has brought back to eastern Kentucky. We will dive into many areas of photography with seminars, a historical interpretive program about Floyd County and the life of Jenny Wiley, sunrise and sunset opportunities, and time to speak with three professional photographers that has made photography not only a lifelong hobby, but a career.
