Holiday Light Workshop
Nut Kettle in the Village, 63 Peddlar's Village, Lahaska
6:00PM – 8:00PM

Take the night off to photograph the beautiful Christmas village of Lahaska. I will teach you how to use your settings on your camera to get the best possible photos of the trees, lights, stores and more. Any digital camera is fine to use. Bring your tripod or I can provide one for you. If it snows, it's even better for reflections. The stores will be closed at 6:00 so there should be no people wandering around on this date. Wear warm clothing. Your hands and feet will get cold the fastest. Bring gloves even if you don't think you will need them, you will! A hat will help keep the warmth in your body also. Wool socks are recommended as we will be standing on cold ground for 2 hours. This is a very popular workshop. Limited to 15 students. $59.95 Please access our website to reserve your spot and purchase your tickets.
