THE MAGICAL
BRISTLECONES
JOIN DONNA ON
A PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP THAT BEGINS WITH OUR MEETING IN THE
ALABAMA HILLS NEAR LONE PINE. KNOWN AS THE ‘GATEWAY TO MT
WHITNEY’ AT THE FOOT OF THE SIERRAS AND USED OFTEN FOR MOVIE
LOCATIONS, THIS AREA IS REPLETE WITH PHOTOGENIC POSSIBILITIES.
DAY TWO WE’LL PHOTOGRAPH WILDFLOWERS ALONG ROCK CREEK IN THE HIGH
SIERRAS. THE NEXT FOUR DAYS WE EMPHASIZE PHOTOGRAPHING THE
ANCIENT BRISTLECONE PINE FOREST IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.
LOCATED EAST OF BISHOP AND OPPOSITE THE SIERRAS (TWENTY MILES
EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR), JOHN MUIR REFERRED TO THESE
GOLDEN, GNARLED TREES AS “IRREPRESSIBLY AND EXTRAVAGANTLY
PICTURESQUE”. THE STUNNING VIEWS AND UNIQUE FORMS FOUND IN THIS
SCENIC AREA PROVIDE RICH IMAGE-MAKING POTENTIAL FOR BLACK AND
WHITE AND COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY. THE SPIRIT FOUND WITHIN THESE TREES
AND IN THIS LOCATION WILL TRULY CAPTURE YOU. FOUR DAYS OF LODGING
WILL BE IN THE BRISTLECONE AREA AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA’S RESEARCH STATION AT CROOKED CREEK AND WHILE STAYING
THERE OUR MEALS WILL BE PROVIDED.
This workshop
will cover such things as ‘stronger seeing’ and
visualizing the finished image, working the light, night
photography and painting with light, tips on exposure and much
more. All levels of photographic knowledge are welcome, any
format, digital capture or film. These well-planned workshops
allow for personal quiet time as well as one-on-one and group
instruction. We will have an evening of image share and critique,
and our workshops are known for their relaxed meal-time
philosophic and techno rambles. |
