Nature Photography Workshops
Are you are looking to increase your proficiency at capturing that
decisive moment, getting the exposure that you wanted and producing
that long sought after stunning composition?
Well then, you have come to the right place.
Wil and Donna are now offering weekend
nature photography workshops aimed at the beginner and intermediate
nature lover that wants to capture their vision on film or digital.
Locations will vary with the
season and workshops are setup to start on Friday evenings and
continue through noon on Sunday. There is plenty of time to shoot in
the field as well as educational and entertaining classroom sessions
that will drive home the skills and techniques that you need to get
that once in a lifetime image.
Class size is limited to 10 participants. This allows for more of a one-on-one instructional environment.
See what previous workshop participants had to say about their experience.
