It is good to have an end to journey toward...
But it is the journey that matters in the end.

DESTINATION DEATH VALLEY

 DONNA WILL LEAD YOU ON AN EXCURSION THROUGH A PHOTOGRAPHIC WONDERLAND THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND DIVERSE DESERT REGIONS IN THE WORLD.  EXPERIENCE SUNRISE AT ZABRISKIE POINT AND THE MAGNIFICENT DUNES AT SUNSET AND SUNRISE. PHOTOGRAPH DANTE’S VIEW, BADWATER AND THE SALT FLATS, THE GHOST TOWN OF RHYOLITE, SALT CREEK, UBEHEBE CRATER, RACETRACK PLAYA (WHERE THE MOVING ROCKS LEAVE THEIR TRAILS) AND MUCH MORE. ALL LEVELS OF SKILL ARE WELCOME, FILM OR DIGITAL CAPTURE. AN EVENING OF IMAGE-SHARE AND A NIGHT SHOOT IS INCLUDED.

WE PROBLEM-SOLVE SUCH THINGS AS: UNDERSTANDING THE LIGHT AND  WORKING WITH NOT FIGHTING CONTRAST, AND USING STRONGER COMPOSITION. DONNA’S EMPHASIS IS ESPECIALLY ON CAPTURING A SENSE OF PLACE AND FINDING YOUR CENTER AS YOU PHOTOGRAPH. THE CAMMERADERIE IS ALWAYS EXCEPTIONAL ON THIS TRIP WHETHER SHOOTING OR SHARING STORES AT DINNERTIME.

EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER LONGS TO CAPTURE THE SPIRIT AND QUIET THAT IS FOUND IN THIS REMARKABLE LANDSCAPE. THIS IS A PERFECT TIME OF YEAR IN A GREAT LOCATION WITH ENDLESS POTENTIAL. 

The $495 price of this workshop does not include transportation, lodging or meals. We stay in the National Park at Stovepipe Wells Resort.
