Upcoming Photography Programs at CCAA 
The Cape Cod Art Association has schedueled a variety of photogrpahy programs for the months ahead, including on-location photoshoots, classes, Photoshop workshops and exhibitons.
ON LOCATION PHOTO SHOOTS
Join Diane Robertson, Bob Singer and John Tunney for series of On Location Photoshoots around Cape Cod. Each week through September, CCAA has scheduled a shoot for the “golden hours” at some of the Cape’s most photogenic spots. In addition to receiving hands-on tips and guidance at teh scene, participants can submit images from the weekly shoots to the Photo Shoot website. This way we get a chance to see a little of everyone's work and learn from each other. In addition, instructors will provide private email critiques of images submitted to the site. To see images from recent shoots, visit the CCAA Photoshoot website.
Upcomng shoots
On June 10, join Bob Singer at Nobska Light in Falmouth. Beautifully situated on a short Falmouth beach cliff above the waters facing Martha’s Vineyard, Nobska Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful and photogenic of all Cape lighthouses. With a pat on the head from Mother Nature (and a few pointers from Bob), you’ll capture winning images.
June 17 Diane Robertson will lead a shoot at Fort Hill in Eastham. Fort Hill offers sweeping views of Town Cove, Nauset Harbor, the Outer Beach and Coast Guard Lighthouse. There’s an easy walking trail that follows the edge of a rolling field with wildflowers and other interesting plants.
 June 24 John Tunney guides a sunset shoot at Grey's Beach in Yarmouthport. Grey's Beach has a long boardwalk that leads straight into the sunset sky. There's a small dock area with colorful boats, a a beach, marsh, osprey nests and beautiful views all around.
