Summer Photography Course in Scotland

UW-Stout is offering a Photojournalism course abroad this summer in SCOTLAND!!  I attended this 3-week trip two summers ago and had the time of my life.  I would definitely recommend the class to anyone in the photo minor at Stout, or anyone who has been wanting to study abroad and is interested in photography.
While in Scotland we stayed at Dalkeith Palace, went on a backpackers trip to the Highlands and the Isle of Skye, swam in Loch Ness, climbed to the peak of a mountain, and took a 4 day trip to Ireland as well.  There was some absolutely breathtaking scenery and opportunities to meet lots of amazing people. It seriously will be an awesome experience.
To hear more about the trip and what we did, you can talk to Jason Abrahamson or me (Staci Paul).
If you're interested, email Pete Schlosser, the instructor of this course, and visit the course description to find out more information.
Here are just a few of the sights I captured while on the trip in 2008:

Fall Photography Trip

The fall photo trip was a great success!  Fifteen students were able to travel to the St. Croix area to take in some beautiful scenery and fall colors.  We first travelled to Stillwater, a pristine river town with classic shops, parks and an awesome lift bridge.  After that we stopped in Marine on the St. Croix, a small town with a waterfall and an old rustic cabin.  Then we visited Osceola and got some amazing experience with long exposures while photographing its large waterfall.  Finally, we stopped in Taylor's Falls and watched the sun set over vast natural potholes and colorful autumn leaves along the St. Croix River.  It was an amazing experience and I think everyone will agree it was a great time.
Here is a fun shot of the group at the park in Taylor's Falls:
