Winter In Yosemite | Feb. 20-21, 2018

Come shoot with me!  This winter I will be shooting some of the most iconic views in all the world in majestic Yosemite National Park.  It is estimated that 90% of people have only go to Yosemite National park during the summer.  Let's go and change this right now.  Yosemite is special during the winter months in that the roads are still accessible and the summer crowds have died down.  There are many landscape photography opportunities in Yosemite some of which were made famous by photographers such as Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell.   The first iconic shot we will attempt is the Yosemite Firefall image made famous by Galen Rowell.  Then we will wake up well before sunrise to capture arguably the most beautiful viewpoint in all of Yosemite National Park which is called Valley View.  On location I will help you capture these moments in a portfolio quality photograph that you will cherish for a lifetime. Then over a nice breakfast, I will help you post process your image to a professional level of editing that will make your photograph a true work of art.  I strive to keep my groups small and intimate in order to maximize your learning opportunites.  My groups are limited to no more than three participants in order to make this possible.  Plus that's as many as will fit in my 4x4 Toyota Tacoma.  So come join me for an unforgettable iconic photography shoot of a lifetime!
