Revisiting My Trip to Maine | Northern California fine art photography
Friends have been posting photos from a very snowy Maine. Beautiful! It prompted me to take a look back at my trip there a few years ago. Several friends and I were lured there for a still life photography workshop. I had been to Maine before, but this personalized workshop gave me such a different perspective as did traveling with friends instead of my spouse. After the workshop, we secured a house for a few days from which we would further explore Maine.
We visited some of the iconic locations and some not-so-iconic places. But, let’s face it, Maine has a look and feel all her own. A day did not pass without lobster and blueberries! My kind of vacation!
Get ready for a VERY image-heavy post. And, these are not even all my photos! What a great trip is was. I’m ready to go back.

Taking some time to look through photos and discovered this post from my Waterfalls & More workshop/retreat from a couple of years ago. Let me tell you, it was fantastic! The colors were amazing! The water was flowing! And, we had a fantastic group of women attending the workshop in October. The Northern California mountains in autumn are a beautiful sight!
The calm of feeling unattached to the sense of self while so absorbed in the work becomes a creator's persona. I am not aware of myself nor my surroundings when I am immersed in the frame I am laboring over. I mentally disappear into Still Life photography.
A few years ago on a road trip north, I managed to stop to photograph the Milky Way and a few waterfalls. I was on my way to attend a workshop in the Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. Despite there being so little rain and snow in northern California the previous winter, the waterfalls did not disappoint. And, the Milky Way, well, it's always awesome!
I can help you with photographing your intended subject, teach you a few editing skills, and/or help you pull a portfolio together. To learn more about my photography mentoring, go to my page on Personalized Mentoring. Take a look and then contact me with your questions. As a trained educator with years of experience, I'm sure I can help you with your photography.
Where ever we go in nature, there are photography subjects everywhere. Some are grand landscapes, while others might be tiny macro subjects. The redwood forests of Northern California are bursting with opportunities for both of these and everything in between. Join experienced workshop mentors Nadeen Flynn Photography and Amy Ames Photography for this amazing adventure!
Finding the pretty in your everyday can seem a bit daunting. But, it's there if you look. I can see it especially well when I'm looking at the light. And, that's really what photography is about. Light. These photos of my kitchen sink window view were shot using back light.
Today is the day YOU can register for my workshop to learn to photograph still life. We will cover all the basics of still life photography so that you will feel comfortable going forward with creating your own.
In my Life Exposed online still life photography workshop, you'll learn how I approach lighting, staging, and editing still life images. We'll work on created still life subjects, and we'll explore different local areas to FIND suitable subjects. I'm not teaching you MY style. I'm teaching you the foundations so that you can apply them to your own style. And, we'll have some fun along the way.

The beauty of the mountains and forests is so inspiring and such a good environment in which to just get away. That's why I'm presenting a waterfalls workshop in Northern California this fall so that we can spend time capturing waterfalls while photographing them to our heart's content.
Are you looking to enjoy the Monterey peninsula and Big Sur areas with like-minded photographers? Please join us at our Adventure Along the Central California Coast workshop/retreat/adventure coming in October 2023.

Last October, I held my annual one-day Waterfalls Workshop in Northern California. It’s a day of photographing waterfalls, learning techniques, meeting new friends, and enjoying just being in the mountains. It’s a gorgeous time of year with the color change. Several of the workshop members decided to stay to photograph and enjoy the area for another day. Thinking this was a fabulous idea, I decided to stay as well to enjoy the autumn views in nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park.
Taking some time to look through my blog posts (because I’m so far behind, I couldn’t remember what I’d blogged about!), I realized I never posted about the autumn Waterfalls Workshop!
Let me tell you, it was fantastic! The colors were amazing! The water was flowing! And, we had a fantastic group women attending the one-day Waterfalls Workshop in October. But, shame on me for not blogging about it until now.
The first one-day Waterfalls Workshop in Northern California was presented by Nadeen Flynn Photography in March 2022. Many topics of landscape photography were presented including composition, use of a polarizer and filters, camera settings, and desired outcomes. Plan to join in the next Waterfalls Workshop in Northern California this fall, October 22, 2022, when the leaves will be putting on their autumn show.
Pairing my love of photography with my love of teaching, I decided to present a waterfall workshop in the mountains of Northern California. You will learn how to create images of your liking with just the right amount of movement in the water. Sharp splashes or smooth blur, whatever appeals to you.
