North Georgia Mountains | Photography Immersion Workshop Summary
This Photography Immersion Workshop in the North Georgia Mountains was definitely one for the books. In this three day workshop participants were able to learn photography by listening, doing and absorbing with repetitive activities. They were challenged on an hourly basis to use what they learned and to learn new skills based on what they had previously learned. Each day consist ed of hands-on learning in an environment that varied from sunrise to sunset.
Students had the opportunity to photograph landscapes, waterfalls, flowers, people and wildlife in a structured, non-competitive workshop. Mary Buck’s (Photography Immersion Workshop photography instructor) goal is always to strengthen and maintain the learning process with a non-stop flow of photography for three full days.
Mary has been teaching beginner photography classes to students for the past 7 ½ years. Most of her students find her four hour class to be an overload of information and many forget what they have learned within the first month. That is why she decided to switch gears from teaching a four hour class which only skims the basics of photography to a full three days of immersion.

In order to teach someone how to use their digital SLR camera, she first has to teach photography. This is where camera manuals fall short. Manuals instruct individuals only on which buttons to push but don’t tell you why. Manuals also assume the user already knows photography. Mary Buck’s Immersion method taught the basic building blocks of photography on the first day. Once that was understood, she then taught how to use a digital SLR camera, as a tool, to take a picture.

Mary Buck’s three day workshop also allowed participants to get to know each other. Sharing the love of photography, everyone was extremely supportive and had a great time getting to know each other. Missed out on this workshop? Check out Mary Buck’s other Photography Immersion Workshops HERE!
