August 6th, 2022 - Annapolis Photography Workshop

On the water for my fourth Annapolis photography workshop of August with this group of photographers from Maryland and Virginia. This was the first workshop of mine that each of these photographers had attended. After leaving the dock, we first went to the middle of the shipping channel and shot a silhouette of the bridge between the spans with an orange sky and dramatic storm clouds as a backdrop. After about 15 minutes of shooting under the bridge, we made our way up the bay - stopping at Sandy Point Light for sunrise and then Baltimore Light about 15 minutes after sunrise. We photographed the crabbers working around Bodkin Point at the mouth of the Patapsco River before heading up the river and into the inner harbor. After shooting the ships unloading at the Port of Baltimore and the trot liners catching crabs, we headed back to the dock for a 45+ minute run head on into a southern wind Back in the studio, each participant had a chance to edit their photographs and print their favorite on my large format Epson P9000.

August 5th, 2022 - Annapolis Photography Workshop

On the water for my third Annapolis photography workshop of August with this group of five photographers. Two of the photographers had been on the same workshop last year and were expecting to shoot the same scenes around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge - the crabbers at the mouth of the Severn River, Thomas Point Light and the ships anchored just south of the bridge. I decided to head north again and take advantage of the southern wind for a smooth ride up - the wind was forecasted to moderate as the morning progressed which would help make for a smooth ride back to Kent Island. We made the 25 mile run from the Bay Bridge to the inner harbor to photograph the crabbers in the Patapsco River and the ships unloading containers at the Port of Baltimore. The repeat customers were thrilled to photograph these different scenes on this trip - the great lighting conditions helped make me look good. Back in the studio, each participant had a chance to edit their photographs and print their favorite on my large format Epson P9000.
