Join our special, alumni-only, five-day photography workshop in the incomparable Yosemite National Park, one of the jewels of the west.

Yosemite, quite simply, is astounding. Half Dome and El Capitan stand sentinel over the snow-dusted valley. A lone coyote trots across, leaving delicate footprints. Above, the big trees beckon, their rich, reddish hues contrasting with the pure white of snow. While we cannot guarantee snow, it is common anytime from November on.

There is so much to photograph here, from the impressive rock formations, to intimate woodland scenes, to reflections along the Merced River. 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.

This workshop is only open to alumni, but note that newcomers become alumni once they sign up for another 2010 workshop with us. There is already a lot of interest, so places may go quickly.

Scouting Option:
For those who want more time with Margo and Arnie, we offer the opportunity to scout and shoot with them before most of our domestic workshops. We limit this to two people per day who ride in the car with the instructors. During these days, there is lots of one-to-one instruciton while Arnie and Margo do their own photography and final scouting for the workshop.

Some of our participants like to come in a day ahead and get some added instruction on Lightroom. Contact us for details.

Practical Details:
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;

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.
