National Park Photo Workshops
Everyone carries a camera or two (or
three) nowadays. Most of us snap photos with our cell phones, or take
a little step toward higher quality by shooting with a genuine
camera.
If you want to go beyond that and
really improve your landscape photography, consider enrolling in a
workshop. The Moab/Arches/Canyonlands
area is a prime destination for serious photographers and several
great artists make their home in the area. Some offer classes and
workshops - including time in the field where you get personal,
hands-on instruction.
This
blog post lists 25 photography workshops that will be held in the
Moab area in 2013, complete with dates and contact information.
Some of the photographers involved are
legendary. I once had the chance to spend an afternoon walking
through the Sand Flats area with Tom Till, listening as he described
how he creates magazine cover photos. It was fascinating and I still
use many of the techniques he described.
If you want to improve your
photography, get out with one of the masters.
