Photography is much more than the occasional family snapshot for you—it's a passion! You don't take pictures—you make images. You've been thinking about making the transition to digital imaging for some time now, but you find the whole prospect just a bit intimidating, and you still have questions: Are the affordable cameras good enough yet? Is this worth doing? Will this take me years to learn? Is it time to make the leap?

Well, don't hang back or jump into the abyss! Use the bridge instead. The Vermont Photographic Workshop will give you a solid foundation of knowledge about camera technology and Photoshop basics, and a clear view of your road ahead. Soon you'll be on your way to making the digital pictures you've been dreaming about. It's not that difficult!

Do you remember that wonderful feeling you had when you made your first truly successful photograph? How would you like to experience this again and again, almost every time you pick up a camera? Digital cameras give us the tools to make digital photography so much more rewarding and successful, tools like the histogram which allow us to instantly evaluate our exposures in a test shot. Imagine the freedom you'll enjoy when you know your exposure is precise and correct even before you make your image. LCD screens allow instant review of our compositions, and therefore the opportunity to rethink, re-shoot and often improve our images. And in the digital darkroom, even basic Photoshop adjustments can make a good picture “pop!”

Digital technology now rivals the quality of film, and the equipment is both affordable and well designed. The digital darkroom allows image control at a level undreamed of in the old wet darkroom, with none of the toxic chemicals and long printing sessions, but with all of the magic. Discover the satisfaction in having knowledge and command of this amazing digital process. Rediscover the love you have for photography. You can do this. The time is now, and the place is Vermont.
