Enjoy some great opportunities for photographing mountain landscapes and wildflowers, as well as streams and cascades. While the class is geared toward DSLRs with interchangeable lenses, many of the techniques can be applied to full featured point and shoot cameras as well. Just bring along your photo gear and enthusiasm for extending your photographic possibilities and experimenting with new photo techniques. The 8 hour day features about 4 to 5 hours of instruction using a detailed PowerPoint, including time for working with the cameras and Q & A - plus a chair lift ride and time to experiment with the camera techniques and photography principles in the field.

The class begins with and builds on the most basic camera principles to help a person gain complete control over every shot they take. The key to taking better photos is knowing how to take the shot you want, rather than wondering how you managed to get a nice photo!

After lunch, we'll finish any discussion, and then head to the top of mid mountain lodge on the chair lift to photograph the spectacular landscape views. During the afternoon I will set up a couple of different mini clinics to offer help with cameras and teach specifc techniques.

A maximum of 15 participants, allows some opportunity for individual questions and interaction throughout the day during both the instruction and discussion time, as well as during the afternoon photo shoots.

The workshop fee includes all instruction and handouts as well as lunch and the chair lift. Bring along any additional food and drink you might want for the rest of the day.

Please bring along a camera, lenses, tripod, memory cards, batteries, your camera manual, and outdoor gear for mountain weather. Please check the Equipment List link on this page for suggestions.
