Group
Size:
Our
groups are small in size and are limited to 6 people. This
group size allows for flexibility in our plans if interesting and
unexpected photo opportunities present themselves. Also it will allow us
to work with each participate to provide complete, informative, helpful
lessons. This also ensures that no question is left unanswered.
Goals:
The
entire workshop is devoted to capturing the best nature images possible
on digital camera or film. John draws upon his decades of experience as
a professional photographer to offer several methods to improve your
nature photography. John will share numerous proven beginner thru
advanced techniques.
Why
waste your time looking for the best hidden spots to photograph moose,
waterfalls, best foliage etc. Hunters and fisherman use guides all the
time. We do take participants to some well known locations as well as
many secret spots only a few locals would know. We will put you in the
right spot in the right time to help you produce top quality images.
On
location, John will demonstrate how you can best use your equipment. We
will do our best to help you get beautiful professional high dynamic
quality images which will make nice prints on your wall.
Before
and after each workshop we will access each participants needs,
interests and skills so we can teach techniques that will help each
participant. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned pro we will help you
grow as a photographer.
Itinerary:
We believe in capturing the best light our workshop
includes sunrise and sunset shoots (weather permitting). Early morning
and later afternoon has the best lighting for photography. It’s also the
time wildlife is most active. Also early morning has some other advantages less traffic
and people and less wind. We will be out most of the daylight hours. If
we are lucky we will also get some overcast lighting we is excellent for
fall photography.
Each day is paced to maximize photo
opportunities and the schedule will be flexible to maximize getting the
best light.
Day 1:
Check in
hotel then meet at 2pm.
We will
have an group introduction then leave to photograph the afternoon light
and continue on till sunset.
This will
be followed by dinner.
Day 2 :

visit multiple areas. This includes sunrise and sunset.
Day 3:
Sunrise Photoshoot.

welcome to join me (no additional charge).
Transportation:
Transportation to field locations is included.
Non Participating Spouses:
If
space permits spouses who don’t shoot images are welcome to attend field
trips are welcome to come for 1/2 price.
Weather:
Rainy
conditions can provide some the moodiest and diffused lighting of any
photography trip. You can get some unique opportunities in these
conditions that you could not get on a sunny day. The overcast sky acts
like an umbrella to diffuse the light which is great for photos like
waterfalls etc. Unless the weather conditions pose any danger to group
we will still stay out.
