Zion. The very word imparts a powerful image. Monolithic, iconic rock formations, classic southwest scenery, and intimate details are just part of this amazing place. The splendor of Autumn adds rich yellows, oranges and the brilliant reds of leaves to your visual palette. Join us for a journey to experience Zion at it's best.
Features & Info
Overview
Designed for the intermediate photographer, this instructional tour will bring you to great locations throughout the park to photograph. You'll work in morning and afternoon light, and sometimes between depending on the weather conditions. Participants should have a good working knowledge of their camera and the basics of photography (exposure, focus, depth of field).
Where we'll go
We'll seek out the beautiful intimate landscapes of the Checkerboard Mesa area and the canyon floor along the Virgin River including the various iconic spots within the canyon.
What you'll learn
You'll learn ways to improve your composition and point of view, how to create better visual depth, and more.We'll be photographing along with you, sharing how we see and helping you see in a better way in the same location. There will be one image review, and a session where we'll discuss our workflow and software we use to process and enhance our images.
With Brenda and Jed's preparedness in the field, we visited some great locations, and I made some great pictures. It was another great trip!
