SUMMARY:Pennhurst Asylum Photo Trek
DESCRIPTION:Pennhurst was an institution for the mentally and physically disabled individuals of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Constructed and opened in 1908 as a state school for the mentally and physically disabled\, Pennhurst’s property was vast\, covering 120 acres. Created to house over 10\,000 patients\, Pennhurst was one of the largest institutions of its kind in Pennsylvania. It was devoted strictly to the care\, treatment and education of the disabled. Originally named Pennhurst Home for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic\, it finally was just called Pennhurst State School. After a decade of controversy\, it closed on December 9\, 1987.  \n\n\n\nPennhurst fell into complete ruin as the complex was shut down. Buildings were abandoned as they were\, with patient’s clothes and belonging strewn about. Furniture\, cabinets and medical equipment were left to decay as if someone had just got up and walked out the front door. This is the place that will eventually resurrect into one of the most studied properties in the ghost hunter media\, and will become an amazing haunted attraction. Join us as we photographically explore this remarkable and eerie place!  \n\n\n\nWe will have access to the Mayflower building and several tunnels\, as well as touring the grounds(with guides). A brief history will be given at the start of the tour\, then we will be free to photograph in specific areas at our leisure. Instruction will be given throughout the workshop on creative composition\, exposure\, flash\, HDR photography\, light painting and more! This will enable you to truly capture the essence of the place.  \n\n\n\nA full list of details will be emailed several weeks prior to the event. This workshop is suitable for all levels of photo enthusiasts\, but being familiar with the settings on your camera is highly recommended. You will be shooting in very low light conditions\, so a sturdy tripod is a must. Physically\, you need to be able to be on your feet and move up and down several flights of stairs for up to four hours. The buildings are not heated or air conditioned\, and are in a state of arrested decay. Liability waivers will need to be signed for both Pennhurst and Valerie A Hoffman Photography.  \n\n\n\nWorkshop fee includes Zoom informational instruction prior to the event\, tour and access to the building and grounds-as permitted by Pennhurst\, and an editing class after the trek. The pre-trek class will cover details of the area\, recommended gear\, how to properly expose for creative images\, creative composition\, light painting and more. The post-trek editing class will cover basic and creative edits in AdobeLightroom Classic\, and how to edit your bracketed images into cool HDR images using Photomatix Pro. This software is simple to use and gives you the ability to create artistic images with ease. If you do not own this software\, a trial version can be downloaded for free\, and a discount code will be given during the class for those interested in purchasing it.

SUMMARY:Jenkins Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is one of eastern Pennsylvania’s great horticultural and environmental assets. As a botanical garden\, the Arboretum maintains a collection of trees\, shrubs\, wildflowers and ferns in a tranquil\, naturalistic landscape. In addition\, the Arboretum features a diverse collection of rhododendrons and azaleas from around the world. The unique landscape and diverse plant collections provide sanctuary for a variety of birds\, insects and other wildlife. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we capture the beauty of spring blooms in one of the most intimate yet lesser known gardens in the area. Winding wooded paths weave through gorgeous azalea blooms\, where the colors will mesmerize you as you capture amazing images. Meeting in the morning will provide the best light to capture the beauty of the landscape. We will focus on the intimate details\, as well as the grander view of the gardens\, using a variety of techniques. Special attention will be given to composition\, exposure and lens choice\, as well as how to use different lenses to control perspective and direct the viewer’s eye. We will work with reflectors to help control the light\, and other useful accessories. A detailed email will be sent to all participants prior to the trek. Feel free to contact me with any questions prior to the event. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is for beginners\, as well as more advanced enthusiasts. No special equipment is required. Recommended equipment is wide angle to mid range telephoto lens\, a macro lens or other close up accessories such as extension tubes. Also polarizers and lens hoods for each lens are highly recommended. \n\n\n\nTrek is from 9 am – 12:30 am. Rain date will be Sunday May 9\, same time. \n\n\n\nGroup size will be kept to a smaller than usual size as a COVID precaution. See other COVID policies listed. A minimum number of participants are needed to run this trek. Please register early to secure your spot.
