Here are some photographs that my dad and I shot last year during the Heaven on Hamlin Workshop. All seven students got very similar photos and we had so many laughs and good times making our images together.

|
|
"Protecting the Family" - We all made images from the pontoon boat of this majestic bald eagle.
|
|
|
|
"Finish the Shot" - My dad got into Lake Michigan and showed everyone how to truly finish the photograph in your camera.

We often shoot the Manistee Lighthouse during the Heaven on Hamlin Workshop. We also may shoot Point Betsie Lighthouse during this workshop if the conditions are correct. Many times we don't decide where we are going to shoot until we leave the driveway with all the students. This is more realistic to how my dad and I operate during the year when looking for photographs.

We found these sunflowers a week earlier on M22 and brought the students back to photograph them in a light rain. The rain made all the difference. There is no such thing as bad weather for shooting photographs.

This young bald eagle was sitting in a tree right next door to Carole and Jim's home on Hamlin Lake. The fog and atmosphere really added to the experience last summer!

Speaking of Carole and Jim Smith, here is a photo of the dynamic duo on the pier in Manistee last summer during the workshop.

If you are not able to make this workshop on such short notice, remember that we teach this same workshop every winter! On January 17th-19th, 2020, we will be having another Heaven on Hamlin Workshop!!!

“Michigan Cheetah” by Todd Reed
One of three cheetah sisters at Binder Park Zoo steps out of the shadows and into some beautiful diffused light at the wooded edge of its natural domain Monday morning. While the cheetah is the world’s fastest land mammal, capable of reaching speeds of 60 MPH, I am savoring my opportunity to study this most beautiful creature up close and personal through my Nikon telephoto lens. Lions, zebras and giraffes were among the other animals I had the opportunity to photograph while visiting this impressive Battle Creek zoo. Nikon D850. F2.8 at 1/640, ISO 1600. 70-200mm lens at 200mm. On a tripod without a flash. July 30, 2019 at 9:13am.
