Yosemite in the Winter Topics Covered:
What is Included
What You'll Need:
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. 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: Lodging is not included in the price of the workshop and you are free to select the lodging option and location that best suits your needs, however I will be staying at the Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal just outside the Eastern entrance to the park on highway 140. The Yosemite View Lodge will be where we meet each morning before heading out for our sunrise session and also where the mid-day discussions will be held. It makes everything much more convenient when everyone stays at the same location and because of that It is highly recommended that you stay at the Yosemite View Lodge. Transportation: Transportation to and from the workshop is not included in the price of the workshop. It is recommended that participates coming from out of state rent a car, many car rental options are available at all major airports. During the workshop we will carpool as much as possible as parking is extremely limited in Yosemite during the winter as not all vehicle turnouts are often plowed. Meals: We eat as many meals together as possible, this includes breakfast and dinner Saturday and breakfast Sunday with dinner on Sunday being optional (I understand some people like to get on the road after the sunset session). These group meals are a wonderful time to get to know each better and build tremendous camaraderie that often developments into friendships that last long after the workshop concludes. Everyone is responsible for their own meals and we will ask for separate checks whenever possible. 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. |
2 day in-field workshop 
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.
