Vineyard Nights, Holiday Lights : Oak Bluffs
Join us at the peak of the holiday season for a night photography stroll filled with lights and magic as we explore the tiny houses of Oak Bluffs.
While many of these tiny homes go dark for the winter, several become aglow with the flare of a Christmas story book.
December 21, 2025
Participant Limit: 6
Skill Level: Any
Physical Activity: Moderate (Walking / Standing)
Workshop Type: Ambient Light
Transportation to and around island included.
$285 per person.
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 Oak Bluffs - starting in the neighborhood just after twilight, eventually emerging into Ocean Park to photograph the decorations around the gazebo. Your roundtrip steamship ticket and island transportation is included in your enrollment.
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 $285 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.
