We will be hiking the Virgin River Narrows. This hike requires wading through a canyon river with swift water and depths of up to 3.5 to 4 feet. We will rent dry suites (65.00 per day) and spend an entire day exploring this amazing location on the workshop. The hike up river (not including the 1.5 mile walk to the entrance of the Narrows) is about a five mile round trip in the water.

The remaining balance will be due 60 days before the start date. We will send you an eBill payable by Credit Card, Paypal Account or Check.

Zion National Park is a nature photographers dream! Towering sandstone mountains, deep canyons, slick rock domes and the fall color of Cottonwoods and Maples. This workshop will explore the best that the park has to offer and is for the fit and adventurous photographer. Joe will lead you to the Subway, hike the Virgin River Narrows (the worlds deepest and most beautiful slot canyon), show you secret photo spots on the Virgin River, Kolab Terrace and Checkerboard Mesa. As always, we will have at least two classroom sessions covering post capture digital developing and at least one critique session. The workshop is limited to 10 participants and will be heavy on shooting and field instruction. Join joe for a photography experience you won’t soon forget!

Joseph will teach a variety of techniques—both in the field and in the classroom—that will allow you to advance both your technical skills and artistic vision. We focus on a number of professional field techniques to help you create dramatic and powerful nature images, including:

• Working with dramatic light, including sunrise and sunset;
• The fundamentals of powerful compositions; and
• Abstract techniques for creating artistic photographs.

We’ll also teach you a number of professional “digital darkroom” secrets as well. Our hands-on intensive seminars—held during the middle of the day when the light is not conducive for photography—will teach you the fundamentals of image processing, and allow you to master important techniques including:

• Working with adjustment layers;
• Layer masking and image blending techniques;
• Making difficult selections;
• Color management; and
• Special effects techniques used for artistic expression.
