Digital Photography
Explore and photograph the historical beauty of the Isles of Shoals. Enjoy lectures on digital cameras, composition, creativity and digital editing. Guided field trips around Star Island put into practice the techniques that you learn each day. Critiquing sessions let you see how your photography skills have improved as the week goes by. Enriching for both beginners and experienced photographers, bring your “point & shoot” or advanced digital camera, spare batteries and camera manual.

The Isles of Shoals Throughout Time
Ten miles off the coast, the Isles of Shoals are a group of nine small islands. The isles were once a popular retreat for artists and writers such as Childe Hassam and John Greenleaf Whittier. Celia Thaxter made them famous through her poetry. In the evenings, explore the 400 year history of the Isles of Shoals. Investigate the role the Isles played as a fishing station in the New World and as a Victorian resort that attracted famous writers, musicians and artists.
