West Mill Photography Workshop In Southern France with George Munday October 2-9, 2010 |
||
|
What: |
||
|
The West Mill Advanced Photography Workshop includes visits to the local markets, the famous Roman aqueduct Pont du Gard, medieval villages, and historic cities. This workshop - which could also be called a photographic vacation - is aimed specifically at enthusiastic and advanced photographers along with professionals who like to photograph the landscape. The participants and group leader will be photographing in the field, working side by side and sharing their knowledge, vision, philosophy and experience; for this reason there there will be no basic photographic instruction. But there will still be opportunities to chill out and to enjoy the local food and wine. |

|
When:
|
||
| Saturday, October 2 to Saturday, October 9, 2010. Enjoy eight days of adventure with other keen photographers. | ||
|
Where:
|

The workshop participants stay at The West Mill, located 2 km from St. Jean du Gard, a traditional French village. This 18th century water mill with private swimming pool and hot tub, is set in a peaceful area with over 11 acres of private land, bordering the Gardon River, at the foot of the Cevennes Mountains. The West Mill has been owned and operated for over 10 years by Kirsten Apple, a resident of Falls Church in Virginia, USA. The local hosts will be Victor and Johanne, a retired couple from England who live near the West Mill and prepare your breakfast and lunch daily as well as provide guide information on the region.
