SUMMARY:Hunt's Photo Adventure: The 2024 Total Eclipse in Texas
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description\nIn April 2024\, North America will be treated with a total solar eclipse\, the most spectacular kind of eclipse\, where the moon perfectly obscures the sun. The path of total shadow (umbra) across the Earth’s surface is typically 30 to 50 miles wide while the path of partial shadow (penumbra) can reach over 1\,000 miles wide. In this case\, the eclipse will be visible from Texas to Maine\, with greatest chance for visibility in the Southern section of the US.\nOn this unique\, once-in-a-lifetime workshop\, we will be discussing and instructing on how to photograph the total solar eclipse\, then put our practice to the test by photographing the eclipse from an excellent (currently undisclosed*) location.\nIn preparation for the workshop\, we will make sure you are aware of the proper gear you will need to bring\, from filters to cameras and lenses to tripods and more! We will meet online about two weeks prior (TBA) to discuss more of the specifics and give you a “dry run” of the process. We will maximize our time in the field practicing our “eclipse timing” and spend the entire previous day running through the whole setup\, including composition\, camera settings\, when to utilize filters\, how to execute bracketing\, and more so that you are fully prepared during the eclipse. After the eclipse\, we will also have a day for post-processing\, which is extremely unique to this type of photography.\nFor many\, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don’t miss it! \nEclipse Time Schedule (times shown in local time CDT)\nTotal Duration of Eclipse: 2 hour\, 40 minutes\, 13 seconds\nDuration of full eclipse: 4 minutes\, 11 seconds\nPartial begins: 12:20:26 pm\nFull begins: 1:38:02 pm\nMaximum at: 1:40:04 pm\nFull ends: 1:42:10 pm\nPartial ends: 3:00:39 pm \n*We will be viewing the eclipse from Texas.

The Smokies are renowned for their diversity of nature\, abundant plant and wildlife\, rushing streams\, and ancient mountains. The month of April reveals many beautiful aspects of Spring throughout the park as we explore and pursue a variety of subject matter. In Cades Cove\, we will explore the cultural elements of the mountain people. Along Tremont\, we will expand our creativity by photographing rushing water and quiet landscapes. Throughout the park there is an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife to enjoy. From the top of Clingman’s Dome\, we will capture mountain vista’s that are breathtaking. Each day\, we will work on concepts of Subject Development\, Exposure\, Image Composition\, Architectural Photography\, Black and White Photography\, Low Light Photography\, and Long Exposures. There is nothing quite like the Great Smoky Mountains.\nWe will maximize our time in the field with hands on instruction as well as incorporating group discussion\, classroom instruction\, and image review during the workshop.
