About the Nifty Fifty WorkshopsEvery photographer at one point or another has the internal struggle before going to photograph: What lenses should I bring with me today? The common answer is as many as I can without being too uncomfortable. And so we pack up our wide, standard, telephoto, prime, and macro lenses and head out into the field, forcing ourselves to endure limitless choices while sacrificing simplicity. Our Nifty Fifty workshops flip the script and force you to only carry one lens: A 50mm lens, nostalgically referred to as a "nifty fifty". With limitations, what can you-- the photographer, the creator, the artist-- achieve?These workshops will start with our basic photo walk, where we will meet in the field and work with only a 50mm lens in a specific location. Attendees will then submit a handful of images for an online image review, to be held a few days later. During that image review, we will be able to see others' work, discuss how to achieve different effects, and consider editing choices. This is an excellent workshop for all photographers--from Beginner to Advanced--because it forces you to work in a different way.Walk DescriptionFor this workshop, we will be photographing at Plimoth Patuxet. Founded more than 65 years ago, Plimoth Patuxet is a living history museum that depicts the life and culture of America’s first settlers in the 17th century. The settlement is complete with houses, gardens, animals, and pilgrims that live and speak just as if it was 1627. The grounds, homes, and settlers make for wonderful studies in light, architecture, detail, and portraiture. Plimoth Patuxet is an excellent location to use only a 50mm lens, and is a great chance to get creative with it. Scenes in low-light, fine details, and portraits are just some of the things that you will be photographing, all using that lovely 50mm glass!*Question: Are other prime lenses acceptable? Olympus/Panasonic users may use a 25mm lens, since it gives the same look as a 50mm and other primes can be used as an alternative, but we ask that you try to keep it at one prime in as close to that range as possible. Remember- this is a "nifty fifty" workshop, not a "mighty ninety" workshop. (And does that even really rhyme?)
