INCLUDES: A day on the water with Onne on his own boat, the 32-foot Grand Banks, Snow Goose! A captain will be driving the boat while Onne gives personalized and individual instruction to only three or four amateur photographers. Onne discusses composition and technical camera settings as he shoots and wanders the boat offering help with your own gear. He will answer all questions and offer his tips and tricks of the trade! Meet at Conanicut Yacht Club in Jamestown to board the boat. We will provide a lunch or snacks on board along with water, beer and wine. Depending on the timing, we may anchor and have a chat about the day’s activities and what was learned while shooting.
WHAT TO BRING: Bring it all! Bring every lens you can fit into your bag and many people also rent a lens that they might not have in their arsenal. We will be close and far from amazing things to shoot. No hard (Pelican type) cases, no tripods, and no flashes needed for the most part. Bring a rag to wipe salt spray off your lenses – it happens – even though the boat is a fairly dry ride! Bring your polarizer if you like and definitely bring a spare CF Card (or three) – you will need them! Must wear boat friendly shoes and bring jackets and sunscreen.
ABILITY/ WHO CAN COME: Anyone with a DSLR or mirrorless camera and a basic understanding of how to use it is welcome. NO point and shoots. If you have a disability or mobility issue, you will be comfortable on the lower deck and will have plenty of good shooting from there.
PAYMENT and REFUND POLICY: Payment in full is due at time of registration. You can choose to apply a gift certificate you might have or purchase one for someone for the whole or partial amount. IF you need to cancel – we will refund your deposit if it is at least 30 days prior to the event. If you cancel inside of 30 days we will issue you a CREDIT to use towards another workshop.
WEATHER and CANCELLATION: Each event has a weather day built in on either side of our scheduled trip. We try to use the day AFTER the event but in some cases might choose to go a day prior. We will give as much notice as possible and will be in contact with everyone as the dates approach. Weather days are used when it will be uncomfortable for students to be on the water. High winds, rain and storms will delay our workshop. Clouds and light rain will NOT. Please plan your schedule accordingly.
