The photography opportunities here cannot be overstated. Edgartown at Christmas has become part of my personal "must photograph" locations and I frequently find new, magical compositions with every visit and I know you will too.

Our workshop group meets at the steamship terminal in Woods Hole where we will begin our journey to the Vineyard. Once there, we will be transported to Edgartown - starting at Edgartown Light just after twilight. Your roundtrip steamship ticket and island transportation is included in your enrollment.

From there, we will stroll the picturesque sidewalks of Water Street while enroute to the town's lobster pot tree along the harbor and then on to Main Street. We'll then be transported back to the docks where we will make the return trip to Woods Hole. Our time shooting on the island is approximately four hours.

This event is limited to just six participants. If you've wanted the opportunity to shoot the very best of New England during the holidays with a few like minded people, this is it!

In addition to the transportation, participants will receive workshop specific reference material and a supply of CHRISTMAS COOKIES to help keep you going through out the shoot.

The enrollment is $250 per person.

Gear Considerations

1. A digital camera with a wide angle lens. A basic 18-55mm like the one you received with your camera is fine!

2. A sturdy tripod. It shouldn't shake or have any loose parts. Long exposures require complete stillness.

3. A shutter release cable which will allow your camera to take long exposures (longer than 30 seconds.)

4. Bring your gloves. It's winter! But seriously, dress appropriately. A winter hat and jacket, toasty socks and warm gloves will make your experience a lot better. If there's any snow on the ground, make sure your boots are waterproof.

Participants should be in good general health, capable of walking and standing during our event while carrying gear. It is the responsibility of the attendee to arrange transportation to and from the docks at Woods Hole and to be on time for our departure.

Hi, I'm Tim and I am Cape Cod's night photographer! Whether it's starry skies, moonlit beaches or snowy holiday nights, you'll find me outside with my camera capturing the beauty of the area after dark.

I offer these events so you can have a unique and memorable experience and learn something along the way while getting great images! You'll meet some like-minded people in a safe and fun environment.

I've lead over one hundred workshop adventures and four hundred guided night photography tours, hosting thousands of photographers. Hope to see you out there, after dark!
