Why Death Valley in March?
Designated the largest Dark Sky National Park in the country by the International Dark Sky Association , Death Valley in March features sky filled with a brilliant Milky Way arching above the vast landscape. This workshop coincides with the new moon giving us the opportunity to capture some stunning night images.
What you will learn:
This workshop is open to photographers of all levels. Time will be spent discussing photographic technique, exposure, and use of filters. There will be opportunities throughout the day for one on one mentoring to help you advance your skills. We will work on improving composition and aesthetic issues will be examined with the goal of creating images that reflect your own personal photographic style.
Processing and Critique Sessions
The focus of this workshop is to get out and take photographs. Processing and critique sessions will be tailored to the group and scheduled as time permits. This flexibility will allow us to accommodate changes in the weather or lighting conditions and maximize field time.
Fitness Level
Most of the locations we photograph will be close to parking. However, be prepared to walk up to 2 miles daily carrying your equipment on moderate rolling terrain. This workshop is not physically demanding, but your fitness ensures a more rewarding photographic experience. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
