Professionally Guided Fall Foliage Photo Tours

Almost nobody visits Vermont in the fall without a camera. If you want to take the opportunity to improve your photography with professional instruction or guiding, Northshire Digital Arts, our digital media unit, has several offerings for you. There are more computer and photography classes being finalized and we will post them soon.

Merck Forest Photo Field Trips

Sat., October 15th $75 per person
Join a small group of fellow photo enthusiasts and enjoy a professionally guided photo safari at Merck Forest & Famland center. Get hands-on instruction, learn new techniques and tips for improving your photography as you explore the barn areas and the nature trails through the lens. These outings are led by Christine Glade, a professional photographer and Jack Glade, an avid area hiker and amateur photographer, and are appropriate for all skill levels and photographic interests.

You can meet the group at Merck Forest in Rupert or free group transportation is provided from The Tutorial Center in Manchester. You’ll be at Merck at around 9:00am and will spend the morning photographing Vermont’s natural beauty – from macro florals, brilliant foliage, stunning landscapes and animals. The walk to the farm center is an easy walk but more strenuous hikes can be arranged if you prefer. You’ll head back to Manchester at 12:30 for refreshments along with photo sharing and critique.

You can register for either date online using the form below, or call Christine at 802-236-3488.
