We are pleased to announce our first workshop for Fall 2015.
Our location will be the fabulous Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in southwestern Oklahoma the
last week of October. One of the nation's finest and most diverse
wildlife refuge's, it was recently voted #1 in the country by readers of
USA Today. Our country's very first wildlife refuge
features ancient granite mountains, abundant wildlife (bison, elk, deer,
prairie dogs, longhorn cattle, and more), old refuge structures built
by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) during the 1930's Great
Depression, and 11 lakes scattered throughout providing us with an
endless source of subject material. If we are lucky, the Fall foliage
that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding landscape will be in
full bloom as well. Come prepared for an experience you will never
forget.
This
workshop is designed with the intermediate photographer in mind. It is
essential that each participant already know most of the controls of their their camera gear, and they should also be familiar with the
basics in Adobe Lightroom or Camera RAW as these will be our primary
tools for this workshop.
This
will be a full outdoor experience with camping inside the refuge in
order to maximize our time there, and will include some semi-strenuous
hiking occasionally. Mornings and evenings will be spent shooting, while
mid-day hours will be spent in processing and discussion under the
protection of a Group Pavilion (w/electricity). We will talk quite a
bit about creating art and furthering a personal artistic vision rather
than just making photographs. Our days will be long and full with all
that we wish to accomplish. This will be an intense workshop, not a
vacation. Come to learn a lot and leave with a new sense of how you view
your work going forward into the future.
For more details, call or email us for a course outline/itinerary and a list of camping gear you will need to bring.
The images on this page are just a sampling of what you can expect to experience in the refuge.
When: October 25-30, 2015
Group Size: 4
Includes: All meals (we will have our own cook), bottled water, transportation within the refuge, camp fees, a lunch at the world famous Plantation House in nearby Medicine Park on our last day, and transportation from airports in Oklahoma City and Lawton (only if you are flying in and arrive early on Sunday, October 25).
