Covered Bridges of Vermont

Fall in Vermont is a magical place. Leaves turning a panoply of color provide the perfect backdrop to the small New England villages speckled along the scenic byways with white steepled churches and the charm of covered bridges. Join us for this fusion of color and life as we traverse the charm of Vermont’s photographic splendor.

Overview

It’s autumn in Vermont. The smells of the harvest permeate the air. Daylight hours are at a premium, but the days are normally sunny and crisp. The nights are noticeably cooler, and that brisk air signals the change of the seasons. The turning of the leaves has begun in earnest. The panoply of color here is unlike anywhere else, and the small towns and covered bridges beckon. We’ll explore the hills and valleys to capture the beauty of this magical place.

Join us for this five-day workshop as we tour the stunning scenery along the byways of Vermont. From picturesque New England villages, where white-steeple churches mingle with pastoral farm scenes, to quaint covered bridges straddling tree-lined creeks, we’ll have many opportunities to make breathtaking images.

This is where man and nature come together in a harmonious fusion of color and life. It’s where maple trees, mountains, streams and waterfalls teem, and together provide a bounty of photographic subjects for the image-maker to harvest. It will be a photographic journey to remember for a lifetime.

The workshop starts with a rendezvous in Burlington, and a presentation from our instructor Jim Steinberg. Early the next morning, we’ll head into the countryside to find scenes of rural life and picturesque towns along scenic byways.

Vermont’s famed Green Mountains are prime covered-bridge territory. We’ll follow the White River north along the east side of the mountains where 28 covered bridges and numerous scenic byways await.  Finally, we’ll work our way back through rural byways to Burlington to complete our loop trek. If you’ve ever wanted to see and photograph rural New England in autumn, this is the workshop you’ve been waiting for.
