If you’re wondering if it rained or not on this week’s photo workshop on Amelia Island, the answer is yes. We made little raincoats out of plastic bags and rubber bands for our cameras but, fortunately, did not need them. For the most part, we managed to stay dry.
Like all good landscape photographers, we obsessed over weather reports, spent much time searching the sky for breaks in the heavy cloud cover, and juggled our schedule accordingly. The breaks did come and, one morning, we even had beautiful “O’Keeffe clouds.” We had tornado watches, winds upwards of 50 mph, and temperatures ranging from the low 40s to mid-80s. We pulled on and peeled off layers of clothing as needed, and celebrated our two days of overcast skies that allowed us to work in an extra photo shoot or two.
We are out for a sunrise shoot this morning and wrapping up our workshop tomorrow. Everyone will be heading home with some great images to show for their efforts. I’ll share some of those next week. In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy this photograph I made last night at a pier.
