The Inn at Mt. Desert
This charming hotel will be our home away from home for a few nights. It'll have chef prepared breakfast included as well as a basic continental breakfast.
Itinerary
We will begin with a presentation on how to photograph the night skies covering how to set up your camera what settings to use for your camera and the how-tos of night Panoramas. We will then head to a nice early dinner and head to bed after that.
We'll then meet in the lobby at 12:00am to head to one of a few locations. Boulder beach, Seawall, or Hunter's beach. There, we will stay all night through sunrise around 6 am and return for complimentary breakfast at the hotel.
​
We'll meet again at 2pm for editing lessons until 5 pm. We'll break out for dinner on your own and we'll meet in the lobby at 12am again for another night of Astro and sunrise. We'll have one more group breakfast together before getting a few more hours of sleep before checkout.
​
The last date available to book is April 15th. If you don't let me know by April 1st you'll not be able to attend and you submit a down payment it'll not be refunded.
The Acadia Seawall is an iconic location!
