Spring springs forth late in the northland, but it’s doth spring forth. During this Wisconsin photography workshop based along Lake Superior in the Bayfield/Washburn area, we’ll photograph the early spring in the northwoods. We’ll photography sweeping seascapes and sandy beaches at sunsets. For sunrise, the urban seascapes of Bayfield will fill our viewfinders with the Apostle Islands filling the backgrounds. During midday, we’ll photograph spring beauties, bloodroot or other spring flowers as we find them, and we’ll also venture out to several waterfalls to photograph. We’ll also take the time to photograph fishing tugs and sailboats and the urbanscapes of port towns.
