Majestic Tall Ships in Chestertown

Majestic Tall Ships in Chestertown

Step back in time when tall ships were the maritime vessels gracing the waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

Celebrate these ships at the Sultana Education/Chestertown Downrigging Weekend. The waterfront area welcomes between 6-8 tall ships from as far away as New England to some of Maryland’s local treasures including the Pride of Baltimore II and the newly built Maryland Dove.

Join Kim Kelly as she leads you around the festival sharing her knowledge of the different ways to capture these magnificent vessels and other wooden boats on display.

We will have opportunities to board and tour the tall ships.

Topics Include:

      - Storytelling through your images; from the big picture down to the little details
      - How to use the lines and shapes to enhance your photos
      - Composing waterscapes

Recommended Gear: A DSLR or Mirrorless camera with lenses in the range of wide to telephoto 16mm to 300 or 400mm if you have that.
