Join us in August for a 3 Day photography adventure capturing the Sunrise, Sunset and Night Sky in the beauty of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
We will begin this workshop before we leave for our destination with an online lecture to help you prepare for capturing the best images possible as we explore our destination. Then we will have full days of photography and hands on learning to capture the best images possible as we navigate the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
After we have spent time capturing Sunrise and Sunsets we will then move onto the Night Sky and how to capture the Majestic Milky Way and star trails.
Our goal is a long weekend full of fun shooting events. We will prioritize sunrise, sunset, and night sky photography. During the days we will have sessions on image editing and image review. It is recommended to bring your laptop as well as a camera with you.
