June Lake, Lee Vining Creek, Lundy Lake, Convict Lake and Crowley Lake are areas that explode with fall color. It’s very hard to slow yourself down and experience the many emotional responses one has when surrounded by so many photographic opportunities. The natural landscape in the eastern sierras, where rugged granite canyons and peaks are carved by rushing streams and then surrounded with the colored aspen trees, offers a wonderful contrast for your images. It is the best show of fall colors in the western United States. Our workshop will be limited to only eight participants giving me the opportunity to spend the time with individualized instruction and encouragement. Your ability to slow down, see creatively and capture your story with emotion will be the focus of the workshop.

Itinerary: Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. – hotel check-in and brief orientation before heading out for our first shoot at dusk. We will be hosting a bbq dinner back at the hotel to finish off the evening. Friday-Sunday we will experience dawn and dusk photo shoots with mid-day instruction and image critique. Instructional classes will cover the three C's of creative image making, Communication, Composition, and Craftsmanship including one session on Adobe Photoshop.
