Fortress Cliff At Sunset |
Capitol Peak At Dawn |
Days will be spent creating work and educating participants in the art of composition, exposure, using filters, and other aspects of landscape photography. Evenings at camp will be spent discussing all aspects of our art as well as lectures in post work detailing how to get the most from Adobe Lightroom. This is also an ideal place for doing astrophotography as the canyon opens to the south, allowing us an unimpeded view of the coming summer constellations and Milky Way. We will spend one mid-day at the museum in the town of Canyon on the campus of West Texas State University, and then have an early dinner afterwards at a local eatery. This museum is one of the finest in this part of the country and well worth the visit for its geology and paleontology exhibits. This side excursion will be scheduled depending on weather. It does rain this time of year occasionally, so we will take advantage of this possibility when shooting might not be desirable (unless you are a masochist and want to get out in it).

All meals, transportation, and camp fees will be provided for this workshop. We will have our own cook providing hearty meals for us, though they will be nothing fancy. We will provide bottled water as well.
This workshop will be a full camping event, so be prepared. We will provide you with a tent, but you will have to share with one other participant unless you bring your own. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and ground pad. We recommend a light one for this time of year and there are several makers who offer lightweight inexpensive fleece bags. Ask and we will provide some links for you.
Once again, we stress that the hikes will be moderately strenuous, so you should be in good physical condition. As with all of our tours, participants will be required to sign a medical waiver prior to participation.
We have a list of personal items you will need to bring with you. Ask for a copy of this list when inquiring about the tour.
Fly in is available in Amarillo where we can pick you up on Sunday, May 1 and return you on Friday afternoon May 6. Please let us know your entire flight schedule before you leave so that we may make plans to pick you up.
