2010 Photography Workshops

We've got some great travel and learning experiences in store for the new year.

If you were lucky enough to find a camera under the Christmas tree, check out our digital photography classes.

This summer we will again explore the Weminuche Wilderness on horseback with Over the Hill Outfitters.

We're happy to once again offer the summer San Juan Spectacular, a great mix of mining towns, majestic landscapes, beautiful alpine wildflowers and we're sure to meet up with a couple of our cowboy friends. Look for it in early August.

This fall will be busy with 2 new travel workshops.

We're in the process of selecting a working ranch right now for a late September/early October workshop. This will not be a riding experience like the Weminuche trip. Instead, it will be entirely focused on photographing cowboys in action, ranch scenes, and horses and cattle. Hope to have the venue selected by mid February.

Slot Canyons - Page, Arizona. Mid-October. We'll visit the famous Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons as well as some gorgeous but lesser known jewels hidden in the Arizona desert.

Private Workshops - If you have a group and are interested in exploring a particular destination, call us. We'd be happy to put together an unforgettable private photographic workshop experience for your group.

Stuggling to become one with your digital camera? Come to the little red schoohouse in Durango and get schooled!

Students will learn how to use the camera's controls, work with shutter speed and aperture for creative effect. Photography discussions will cover depth of field, freezing and blurring action, composition and exposure. Then we will settle down at the computers and go step by step through the process of downloading your images from the camera, naming, editing, archiving, and preparing them both for email and print. $275.00 per student includes 15 hours of instruction and a location shoot.

 

Western Wilderness Workshop - July 19-23, 2010

Whoa nellie! What's this - we're gonna saddle up? You bet. We will once again ride with Over the Hill Outfitters to their high camp in the spectacular Weminuche Wildnerness.

Last year's trip did not disappoint. One our workshop adventurers won first place in a photo contest she snared on the trip. Western Horseman magazine published two of Chris's images.

This is a fabulous opportunity to photograph alpine wildflowers, rugged mountain landscapes, waterfalls, glacial lakes, and, of course, authentic wranglers and horses.

Our guides will pamper us with all meals, tents, and sleeping gear. Don't worry about having to skimp on your camera kit. Pack horses will carry our gear to camp.

You need not be an experienced rider to enjoy this trip. However, please be aware that camp is at 10,500 feet above sea level and that we may ascend to as high as 12,500, and the views are incredible!

The US Forest Service restricts the number of heartbeats on a guided pack trip to 25; this includes horses, riders, squirells in your pocket - whatever. Some of the spaces have filled already. Please call us at the studio 970-247-2415 with your questions.

Class is limited to 8 participants.

Please note that the dates are preliminary and subject to change.

The workshop is booked directly through the outfitters, here's their link.
