Feb. 28 - March 4 - Video for the Photographer

Video is now an important feature on DSLRs. This workshop will get into the details of how you can shoot and edit video. The class will include demonstrations of gear and software as well as hands on shooting and editing experience. You will have the chance to learn what works and doesn't work and how to get the most from video simply, easily and effectively.

March 21-23 Composition Boot Camp for Landscape Photographers

A popular course at BetterPhoto.com is my Composition Boot Camp. Now I am going to do it in a live course. We discuss what composition is and some ideas on how to get better composition. And we will get out and shoot and do a lot of critiques. The class is a fun way to take your composition to a new level, no matter where you are now.

March 24-26 - The Darkroom Called Lightroom

Lightroom lets photographers truly go back to the tools of the traditional darkroom in order to get the most from their photographs. This class has more in common with Ansel Adams than it does with Photoshop. You will obviously deal with the computer, but the emphasis of the class is on making your photo the star, not the program. This will include a short shoot to connect the photography with Lightroom.

April 11-15 - The Magic of Wildflowers on the Central Coast

The Central Coast of California has some outstanding flower opportunities. We'll be looking at macro/close up opportunities as well as incorporating these flowers into landscape photos. We will spend a lot of time in some great locations as well as some time in the classroom to look at, share and critique images so participants can grow as landscape and nature photographers.

July 7-10 Mountain Wildflowers of the Eastern Sierras

Mark Comon (of Paul's Photo) and I are leading a workshop in the Eastern Sierras at a perfect time for mountain wildflowers. The Eastern Sierras is an undiscovered gem for wildflowers at this time. We will be photographing high in the Eastern Sierras near Independence and up in the Ancient Bristlecone National Forest (which has some amazing low wildflowers that you never hear about because of the great trees there). We will be staying at a quaint and historic inn in Independence.

December 5-10 - Costa Rica (in process)

We are working on what I think will be a phenomenal photographic trip to Costa Rica. We will be shooting birds, bugs and landscapes, and there will be a special day devoted to hands-on learning about digital photography in the rain- and cloud forests before we go out into some terrific locations. Costa Rica is both exotic and real, plus it is a friendly country where Americans can feel at ease.
