SUMMARY:Working All the Angles Photography Workshop with Carl Heilman II
DESCRIPTION:Join Adirondack photographer\, Carl Heilman II\, for a daylong photography workshop that will help inspire you to explore a range of shooting options to expand your photographic creativity.\nThe day will begin with a morning classroom discussion where we’ll cover camera setup options plus details and questions about the basic photography principles—exposure\, motion\, depth of field. Carl will also discuss photo composition and equipment and lens options to help folks more easily explore various shooting angles when on location. \nDuring the afternoon we will experiment with the covered techniques along with different ways of looking at subjects while going to various exhibits around the museum grounds. We’ll also walk the trail to scenic Minnow Pond as long as the weather cooperates. \nParticipants should bring along a camera\, tripod\, a variety of lenses and focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto\, close-up (macro) equipment they might have\, and perhaps a solid ND filter. There are no specific requirements\, but a larger range of equipment choices will offer a greater variety of creative shooting options. (For example\, in his standard camera bag\, Carl carries 2 DSLR mirrorless camera bodies\, a 14-24\, 24-120\, 70-300 zooms\, a 16mm fisheye lens for unique shooting angles\, extension tubes for close-up options\, and a variable solid ND filter.) \n\n→Workshop open to all abilities.\n→Participants are welcome to bring food and snacks for the day. Lunches may also be purchased at the Lake View Café.\n→Museum admission is included in the workshop fee.\n→All participants should bring their own drinks and/or water bottles for the day.\n→Sturdy walking shoes for the trails are strongly recommended.\n\nCarl Heilman is an internationally published photographer and author who has been photographing the Adirondacks since 1975. He started climbing the High Peaks on a pair of handcrafted snowshoes in the 1970s and continues to explore and photograph the mountains and lakes\, while pursuing his passion for portraying the unique beauty of the Adirondack Park –and sharing his decades of photography experience with others in his photography workshops and tours\, coffee table books\, and how-to photography books.

SUMMARY:Huntington Forest with Allison Brusa
DESCRIPTION:Beginning at the Newcomb Adirondack Interpretive Center\, this program explores the complexity and ecological significance of mature and old-growth forests. We will then continue to the base of Goodnow Mountain to examine climate-adaptive forest management in action\, including research areas designed to support the migration of species better suited to future conditions. \nThis walk is in two parts. All participants will meet at the Newcomb Adirondack Interpretive Center for Part 1\, and those wishing to join Part 2 at Goodnow Mountain after will drive to the trailhead. \nPlease note that Part 2 will require participants hike about 500ft at a steep incline\, and walk another 50ft off trail. \nAllison Brusa is a forester with SUNY ESF in the Adirondacks. Education is central to her work\, and she is passionate about making forest science accessible and experiential. Drawing on a background in ecology and research\, she helps connect ecological processes and active management decisions\, inviting people to see the forest through the lenses of both a naturalist and a forester.
