Join photographer Adam Woodworth along the Bold Coast of Maine in Lubec, a small fishing village which also happens to be the easternmost town in the US. With lighthouses, rugged ocean cliffs, dark night skies, bald eagles, seals, and whales, this is an amazing place to photograph!

This is a landscape photography workshop, with a focus on landscape astrophotography of the Milky Way as conditions permit. This is the coast of Maine after all and clear skies are not guaranteed, but these workshops are scheduled around the new moon cycle so that we have moonless dark skies at night. This area is also a great place for dramatic sunrises and sunsets.

We generally do not use light painting on this workshop.

For daytime hikes we may hike up to 3-4 miles round trip. At night we usually don't hike much more than a mile round trip.

We will also drive over the bridge to Campobello Island, part of Canada, for a sunset trip -- so bring your passport! If you don't have a passport you can get over to Campobello with a copy of your birth certificate and driver's license.

REGISTRATION: Read EVERYTHING on this page first, you will find the reservation request form at the bottom of the page.

I obviously can make no guarantees that the weather will cooperate! This workshop is held rain or shine. But we will have plenty of things to photograph in this beautiful area.

In addition to your camera, lenses, batteries, etc, you must have the following:

• Lens warmer to keep your lens fog-free at night - I will have enough available to loan to everyone if you don't have your own. Something like thisMove Shoot Move lens heaterwith thisAnker batteryis what you want (with velcro, gaffer tape, or some pouch to attach the battery to your tripod). You can use any USB battery pack but this Anker one is small and light and will power the lens heater for 4-5 hours.
• Headlamp with a red LED mode. Your headlamp MUST have a red LED mode on it to limit the amount of light that will get into the shots of other workshop participants and to help preserve your night vision. One like thisBlack Diamond Cosmoworks very well.
