Zion National Park is a nature photographers dream! Towering sandstone mountains, deep canyons, slick rock domes and the fall color of Cottonwoods and Maples. This workshop will explore the best that the park has to offer and is for the fit and adventurous photographer. Joe will lead you to the many of the parks most beautiful vistas, hike the Virgin River Narrows (the worlds deepest and most beautiful slot canyon), show you secret photo spots on the Virgin River, Kolab Terrace and Checkerboard Mesa. As always, we will have at least two classroom sessions covering post capture digital developing and at least one critique session. The workshop is limited to 8 participants and will be heavy on shooting and field instruction. Join Joe for a photography experience you won’t soon forget!
You must be in excellent physical shape and be able to hike the Virgin River Narrows which includes 5 miles of wading through the Virgin River in a dry suit.
We will be hiking the Virgin River Narrows. This hike requires wading through a canyon river with swift water and depths of up to 3.5 to 4 feet. We will rent dry suites (65.00 per day) and spend an entire day exploring this amazing location on the workshop. The hike up river (not including the 1.5 mile walk to the entrance of the Narrows) is about a five mile round trip in the water.
Fall Color, Deep Canyons, The Virgin River Narrows, Temple of Sinwava, Checkerboard Mesa, Emerald Pools, The Grotto, Iconic Views, macro, reflections, bounce light, canyons, Kolab Terrace, Big Bend and much more!
We’ll also teach you a number of professional “digital darkroom” secrets as well. Our hands-on intensive seminars—held during the middle of the day when the light is not conducive for photography—will teach you the fundamentals of image processing, and allow you to master important techniques including: • Working with adjustment layers; • Layer masking and image blending techniques; • Making difficult selections; • Color management; and • Special effects techniques used for artistic expression.
Joseph will teach a variety of techniques—both in the field and in the classroom—that will allow you to advance both your technical skills and artistic vision. We focus on a number of professional field techniques to help you create dramatic and powerful nature images, including: • Working with dramatic light, including sunrise and sunset; • The fundamentals of powerful compositions • Abstract techniques for creating artistic photographs • Metering, Filters, Controlling Dynamic Range • Working the light • and much more!!
Thank you so much for the Ebooks and image of the rats. Tonight at our Photo club get together I will be giving a presentation about Zion and highlighting your workshop. Many positive things to point out why your workshop is simply one of the best. Thanks for the special attention you gave me to get me on the right path for my new hobby. I was very glad I chose your workshop. It was a great experience and I hope our paths cross again in a future workshop.
