Barnstorming In Frederick County

The rolling hills around Frederick, Maryland are dotted with historic barns dating back to the mid eighteenth century. For one day only, a selected group of these farms open up their properties a Barnstormer Tour & Plein Air Paint Out.
Join instructor Kim Kelly for fun-filled day capturing these beautiful old barns and surrounding rural landscapes.
We will meet at a designated location in Thurmont, MD to get our tickets ($20) and form carpools to begin the self-guided tour of the designated farms.
At each of the barns, Kim will share different techniques for capturing architectural structures, rural landscapes and even livestock (cows, horses, goats, etc.)
The day ends with folks gathering back at the host farm for some entertainment, food trucks, hand dipped ice cream and judging of the plein air artists. This event runs rain or shine.
Recommended Gear - Digital camera and a range of lenses from 18 to 200mm and a circular polarizing filter if you have one.
Students will purchase their own ticket and these are sold up to and including the day of the event. Details will be in the confirmation letter.
