Week Long Workshops

		Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks May 14-21, 2009 $1995 (limit 4) Get the details During the month of May, there are more animals than tourists in these parks. The bison calves feed, the elk begin calving, moose gnaw on willow branches, and the bighorn lambs are the size of kittens. Winter hangs on in some parts of these parks and spring flowers appear in others. This will be a photo-intensive workshop concentrating on fieldwork. Beginning in Grand Teton National Park we will work on wildlife and scenic images; next we’ll visit the west central portion of Yellowstone National Park to photograph geysers, hot pools, and bison on the Madison Plateau; finally we’ll go to the northern area of the park to concentrate our efforts on the wildlife and wildflowers of the Lamar Valley. Cost includes lodging (rates based on double occupancy), transportation within the park, and two meals per day. (Workshop transportation, lodging, and meals are for paying workshop attendees only.)

Other Workshops

		The Dynamic Landscape (Whidbey Island) Sept. 17-21, 2008 $460 (Early Bird Tuition: $435) Through the fundamentals of good photographic technique and by learning the necessary rules of composition a photographer can train his eye to see beyond the basic elements. We’ll work on training your eye to see more clearly by studying the central tenets of photography: color, light, form, & expression. There will be field shoots in the morning and again in the late afternoon/early evening. Afternoon critique sessions include lectures on lenses, filters, and how to improve composition and images by adding a creative edge. By the end of the workshop you will be better able to “see” the land to create a more dynamic landscape photograph. This is not part of the "Best of the Northwest" workshops, but is offered by the Coupeville Arts Center at www.coupevillearts.org.
