This spring, immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of Rocky Fork State Park at the “Capture The Moment” photo workshop. Led by Marty Silver, a seasoned park ranger and nature photographer, this workshop will provide an opportunity to sharpen your photographic skills while exploring the wonders of the park.
On Saturday, May 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., participants will gather at the Rocky Fork Ranger Station to kick off their photographic adventure. The workshop carries a $20 fee, which can be paid during registration at https://reserve.tnstateparks.com/register/capture-the-moment–spring-photo-workshop-2024.
During the workshop, you will spend a short time indoors at the park office, where Silver will share his expertise on basic nature photography techniques. You will learn valuable tips on camera settings, composition, and how to make the most of natural light. This indoor session will equip you with the necessary knowledge to capture the enchanting beauty of the park’s landscapes and flora.
Following the indoor session, you will venture out onto the trails of Rocky Fork State Park, guided by Silver’s extensive experience and deep understanding of the park’s ecosystem. As you walk amidst the vibrant greenery and blossoming wildflowers, be prepared to get a little dirty and damp, as nature photography often demands. Dress comfortably in long pants and sturdy hiking boots, and don’t forget to bring water and a snack to keep yourself energized.
Whether you have a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, a smartphone, or a trusty “point and shoot” camera, you are welcome to join the workshop. Bringing a tripod is strongly recommended to ensure stability in your shots, and don’t forget to pack spare camera batteries, lenses, filters, and any other accessories you may need. A sturdy knapsack will come in handy for carrying all of your equipment.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from Marty Silver, a passionate nature photographer who has dedicated his life to documenting and protecting rare plants and animals. His work has been featured in various publications and websites, and he has taught nature photography in numerous state and national park settings.
