Skills Needed:

All skill levels are welcome.  Participants who have a good working knowledge of their cameras, and basic understanding of digital workflow and knowledge or exposure to Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom will get the most from this workshop.

Physical Demands:

Though locations visited during this workshop are readily accessible, the mountain terrain requires some moderate hiking (typically less than 2 miles round trip, with a max elevation gain of 500’). Participants MUST be in good physical shape, and able to climb and descend moderate to steep inclines at high elevations (9,500-12’000’). They should wear sturdy boots and use caution on slippery and rocky slopes.  As this is a night workshop, we will be shooting late at night, sometimes into the wee hours of morning.   If you are coming from the flatlands near sea level, I highly recommend arriving in the Estes Park area at least a day or two before to acclimate to the elevations.

Group Size:

Maximum 6 photographers.

Registration fee: $1200 per person, plus room fees per package.  Deposit to reserve a space: $400 (plus a housing deposit as appropriate)

Dates and Times

Workshop begins Wed, June 25 at 6pm, and ends Sun, June 29th at 10am.

Non-photographer/tag-along rate: $500 – for a spouse/partner/friend who wants to come along, eat meals with the group, and travel to some of our shooting locations.  Note there is a double occupancy rate for the lodging options at the vacation rental property.

Where to Meet

Participants will gather and be based at the vacation rental property in Estes Park, Colorado.   Directions and details will be sent well in advance of the workshop.

For all of my workshops, I rent a large rental house that will be our home  base, giving us a place to gather for classroom sessions, a kitchen to use for meals, and a chance to mingle with and learn from your fellow photographers.

A limited number of private rooms are available in the spacious luxury 4 bedroom vacation rental property in Estes Park, CO that will be the home base for the workshop. This gorgeous home will give us a place to gather for classroom sessions, a kitchen to use for meals, and a chance to mingle with and learn from your fellow photographers.  (Note: the house we have rented may change if we are able to secure a large cabin at the YMCA of the Rockies on the edge of the park).
