The workshop is open to photographers with a basic understanding of camera operations.

||
Maximum Workshop Size |

Theme |

The theme for the workshop is "The Photographer as Artist." We will explore photography as a fine art medium and what it means to be a fine art photographer. We will discuss techniques used by fine art photographers both in the field and back home in their darkrooms. There will be assignments each day to reinforce the topics we discuss. We will also conduct a print review. Participation is voluntary but if you care to participate bring 4 to 6 prints 8X10 or larger. |

A typical day will begin with a sunrise shoot. We'll usually arrive on site shortly after 5:00. Mid-day activities will consist of lectures, print reviews, reviews of assignments and travel. In mid-afternoon we'll arrive at our sunset location. After shooting sunset we will relax, enjoy dinner and prepare for the next exciting day of shooting. |

|
Logistics |
||
|
Our base of operations will be Stovepipe Wells. This is central to all of the great locations we will visit (if anything can be called 'central' in Death Valley). You will be responsible for your own transportation, lodging, National Park fees and meals during the workshop. For those flying in, the closest airport is in Las Vegas, NV. Additional details regarding accommodations and transportation will be provided when you sign up. |
||
Location Notes |
||
|
Death Valley is a desert subject to extremes of temperature, winds and even precipitation. We can expect the highs to range from 76 to 92. The lows can range from 48 to 62. Average precipitation for this time of year is about 0.15 inches per month. The moon will be just coming out of the new moon phase so we can expect a crescent moon low in the western sky on Friday. |
