Withdrawal deadline is a week prior to workshop
Spend a day hiking and photographing the Seminole State Forest. Enjoy the outdoors and express your creativity in a setting that allows you countless opportunities to see things that would normally go unnoticed. Participate in demonstrations and discussion of abstract photography techniques and principles with a focus on creating expressive and unique landscape photographs. The hike will be about 5 miles round trip over a network of hiking trails. Rest stops will be included as needed. See supply list for additional details.

  • The withdrawal deadline is a week prior to the start of the workshop.
  • Camera Gear:
  • Consider bringing one camera body with a spare battery and one or two lenses. A tripod is handy if it is light weight. A monopod is a good alternative and can double as a walking stick. Any more gear than that will feel very heavy by the end of the day.
  • Additional Gear:
  • Comfortable shoes. Athletic or hiking shoes are best. You might consider bringing an extra pair of socks. The Florida wilderness can be soggy at times.
  • Hat/Visor and sunglasses.
  • Sunscreen and bug repellent.
  • Small personal 1st aid kit with a few band-aids, alcohol swabs, small gauze bandage, and anti-bacterial ointment.
  • At least 2 Liters of Water. A Camelback or similar hydration bladder is ideal for carrying your water. If you use bottles, Two 1 Liter bottles will be easier to manage that one 2 Liter bottle.
  • 2-3 Energy bars, Cliff Bars or Larabars are ideal and come in many flavors. Trail mix with dried fruit and nuts is a good alternative. You can bring a sack lunch if you desire. I find the above much easier to manage.
Manchester, Jon

A photographer and photo educator originally from Colorado, Jon P. Manchester brings 30 years of traditional and digital photography experience to the school. His understanding of fine art photography, technical image processing and post-processing has made him a valuable student resource. Manchester was influenced by his mentor, Rick Lang, the late Director of Photography at Crealdé. He says he greatly admired the way Lang related to his students, opening a collaboration of knowledge and learning as much from them as they learned from him.
