Yosemite in the Winter Sign Up
February 4th-6th, 20110 2 day in-field workshop $295

Join me for a photography workshop in Yosemite Valley.  Experience Yosemite as few do! Winter in Yosemite National Park is a truly special time of year, the crowds are all but gone and you can often walk the snow filled meadows of the Valley in almost complete solitude. The workshop is timed for the peak of winter in Yosemite, snow should be covering the valley and with a little luck a winter storm will dust the trees with white as we start our days.  The workshops are a combination of both in-the-field image sessions and mid-day class/lecture sessions  to take your photography to the next level of creativity as an artist.

Topics Covered:

• How to get the right exposure even in the snow
• Composing a creative image
• Depth of Field in the Landscape
• How to start to "See the Light"
• Seeing as a photographer and artist
• Using filters properly
• Much More!

Limited to: Just 8 participates

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced - Participates should have a good working knowledge of how to operate their camera in manual mode.  In addition having a good knowledge of stops, shutter speeds and f/stops will allow you to focus your attention on creativity and creating high quality images.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Morning light waits for no one and part of capturing the perfect image is working harder than everyone else, so a typical day starts with a sunrise shoot, followed by breakfast back at one of the park's restaurants or on your own. Depending on weather conditions the afternoon will be spent in the field or indoors with class sessions discussing photography technique, theory or print sharing before heading out for a sunset shoot.   Dinner follows then either print sharing or free time to work one the day's images, depending on how the afternoon went..  While the days are long they are extremely fulfilling and fun, filled with one-on-one instruction lessons that you can apply immediately both in the field and back at your computer.

Lodging and meals are not included with the workshop, however a local lodging guide and recommendations are included in the workshop's workbook that you'll receive after sign-up.
