Join our five-day photography workshop — 2008 participants wanted another
day here — in the magnificent Southwest. The southeastern part of Utah
is a glorious place to photograph, and the Arches, Canyonlands, and Moab area
is a prime location. With blazing red sandstone, fantastical arches, cool canyons,
and clear streams and rivers, there is no shortage of photographic material.
In addition to Arches and Canyonlands,
we'll take you to some pretty special areas that we love and to which we have
gained access. You'll be able to celebrate
your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn
about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
We'll be based in Moab where the stunning landscapes have made it perfect for the
filming of numerous Westerns since the 1920s, evoking such names as John Ford,
John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and Susan Sarandon and movie titles from "Stage
Coach" to "Thelma & Louise." And for those who love geology, this area is a treasure trove, known for its rich
variety of sandstones that take on the deep hues of sunrise and sunset.
We start out with some technical information before heading out for our first afternoon of photography. Our workshops include the following:
Maximum 6-to-1 ratio students to instructors
Opening wine-and-pizza reception;
Primer booklet to help you get started;
Early-morning and late-afternoon shoots;
Mid-day downloading of your images and processing with the latest version
of Lightroom;
Printing element with step-by-step instructions for printing
straight from Lightroom;
Lots of individual instruction in both the field and classroom;
Critiques, both individual and group;
Discussions on various aspects of photography, including digital workflow;
Final group critique and show on last day; and
Lots of fun and frivolity throughout!
If you have not already done so, be sure to check our FAQs for
questions you may have as well as equipment and installed downloads you need
to bring to the workshop including, if necessary, the free, 30-day, trial versions
of Adobe products.
In our print element, our instructors will
give you the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into beautiful prints straight out of the latest version of Lightroom. In fact, in all our domestic workshops,
you will end up taking home a lovely, large, archival print of one of your workshop
photographs made with Epson paper and inks.
Cost: $980
