Join award-winning photographers Andy Leclerc & Jamie Malcolm-Brown at the impressive Kaaterskills Falls (231 ft tall with two drops) in Catskills, NY. This is one of the few waterfalls in New England that makes you feel like you are in Iceland. It is spectacular to experience! This workshop is for drones, regular cameras, or both if you have them.
If you are a beginner photographer, we will review the fundamentals, including camera settings, ND filters, and much more! If you are confident with your camera settings, we will show you how to find unique compositions and use advanced techniques.
This workshop includes a 1.5-hour Zoom session to review your images and discuss post-processing techniques.
The walk to the falls is .8 miles. It is moderately challenging, though the hardest part is the stairs going up when leaving the falls. We plan to go behind the falls depending on the conditions. Bring rain gear. You will get wet!
If you plan to use a drone, you should be reasonably experienced. There are a lot of tree branches and obstacles to be aware of if you fly at the bottom of the waterfall.
