NEW WORKSHOPS - Bosque del Apache, NM & White Sands, NM, December 2020


TWO EXCITING NEW WORKSHOPS JUST ANNOUNCED! 


Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, 

famous for its tens of thousands of Snow Geese 

and Sandhill Cranes, incredible sunrises and 

sunsets, and unique photo opportunities. 


And White Sands National Park,  New Mexico, 

known for its pristine white sand dunes, 

undulating abstracts, and wild beauty. 


At Bosque del Apache, one of my favorite places for bird photography, you will have numerous opportunities to witness and photograph the famous awe-inspiring lift-off at dawn of thousands of Snow Geese, plus the graceful flights of the beautiful Sandhill Cranes. Improve your bird photography skills, learn tips and tricks to get the best shoots, and learn artistic creative techniques that result in images that go beyond the ordinary. We will shoot lift-offs and flight images in the mornings and late afternoons / evenings. Mid-day hours will be filled with classroom sessions for Lightroom and Photoshop techniques, plus image critiques.

At White Sands, a beautiful and surreal location with dramatic photo opportunities in every direction, we will photograph in the mornings and afternoons / evenings in order to capture the best directional and most beautiful light for sand dunes, and spectacular sunsets. Mid-day hours will be filled with classroom sessions for Lightroom and Photoshop techniques, plus image critiques.

These two workshops run back-to-back. Take either one, or both. The Bosque workshop runs from December 1 - 5, followed by the White Sands workshop December 6 - 9.
