Put in Bay on South Bass Island in Northern Ohio is a popular tourist location for those that have discovered it! With the Butterfly House, the Crystal, the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center, the Marblehead Lighthouse, and the South Bass Island Lighthouse, we have many options to exercise your photographic imagination. Port Clinton (mainland) is 5 hours from Charleston, WV.
Mountaineer Photo Excursions, with Ron Gaskins and Amanda Haddox, are happy to announce our next Photography Workshop at Put In Bay, OH!
Effective at 6:00am, Monday, February 24, we are opening registration to our Put In Bay Summer Workshop, on July 25 – 27, 2014. The Workshop will be limited to 14 participants, and the individual fee is $245.00. The fee includes one round trip ferry ride from Port Clinton to South Bass Island; golf cart transportation during the day Put In Bay, and guided visits to various photo venues on the island and mainland, plus instruction by experienced photographers. The fee does not include transportation to the area, lodging, or meals.
While our schedule and locations may vary according to weather and other variables, we plan to begin on Friday evening at 6:00pm on the mainland; travel to Put In Bay on South Bass Island on Saturday morning, spending the day on the island; then spend Sunday morning back on the mainland; we plan to conclude the Workshop by 2:00pm on Sunday afternoon. As we develop additional details, we will share them with our registered participants.
