Join photographer and author Bill Lea on a photographic tour of Cades Cove and the Great Smoky Mountains. Bill will present his popular program on light and will assist in applying those principles in the field as you personally discover the wide spectrum of photographic subjects present in Cades Cove. You will learn where and how Bill captured some of the fabulous images that appear in his Cades Cove â€" Window to a Secret World book. At the same time, you will enjoy a glimpse into the fascinating history of one of the most beautiful and cherished photographic destinations in the country. Cades Cove and the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains offer an incredible list of photographic opportunities including grand landscapes, mountain streams, wildflowers, butterflies, waterfalls, whitetail deer, an occasional black bear and more. This workshop is available to photographers of any skill level who simply want to witness and photograph the beauty of Cades Cove and the Great Smoky Mountains. Experience the wonder of the Smokies in the field and classroom with this nationally recognized photographer and expert on Cades Cove.
