Winter Landscape Photography in Moab’s Most Iconic Locations
Spend a fantastic week exploring Arches, canyons, ancient rock art, the Colorado River, iconic movie and TV locations, and some of the best light for landscape photography in the world, at a time of the year that has great weather for photography, yet smaller crowds in Moab.
We’ll do a deep dive in the Moab area, visiting a wide variety of great locations in Arches & Canyonlands National Parks and Dead Horse Point State Park. We will also explore other great locations in and around Moab, Castle Valley & Bears Ears National Monument. The workshop will include classroom work to better your photographic craft, including time to process and critique your images. We will shoot sunrises and sunsets each day as weather allows, with a few hours each day dedicated to classroom instruction and image processing. If the weather allows, we will also do at least one night session of Milky Way photography.
Subjects will include, but not be limited to: Natural arches, canyons, ancient ruins and rock art, the Colorado River, iconic movie and TV locations, and optional night photography in internationally recognized dark skies parks. We will end the workshop with a group slide show and critique.

Other Considerations
What to Bring
What to bring:
* A digital or film camera capable of manual exposure settings. Due to the short time frame of the workshop, people with digital cameras, especially DSLR or mirrorless cameras, will get the most from the workshop.
* Plan to bring all of your lenses, from wide angle to telephoto (14mm-200mm), as the variety of locations will put all your gear to work!
* A sturdy tripod is essential for capturing the long exposures necessary to capture waterfalls & streams, as well as at sunrise/set.
* All your filters. A circular polarizer filter, while not required, can be a useful tool for controlling glare and reflections on leaves and water. A graduated neutral density filter can be useful at sunrise or sunset.
* Hiking boots or other sturdy shoes
* Rain gear and warm layers – Moab desert weather can be finicky in early March, and temps can be chilly at sunrise or sunset. Gloves and a warm hat are sure to be useful.
* A headlamp or flashlight, in case we need to hike back after sunset, and for the night shoot.
* Your own method of transportation to get around town. We will carpool to locations as possible.
* A laptop computer loaded with Adobe Lightroom Classic and/or Photoshop, to best take advantage of the Lightroom workflow sessions, or whatever software you use to process images. A tablet loaded with Lightroom can work as well.
