I'm no longer planning scheduled training seminars or tours, but am willing to provide training one-on-one or provide custom tours for clients. Prices for Colorado tours or training start at $995 per day, plus expenses, and will include intensive instruction and hands-on demos and exercises. Longer tours throughout the western states are negotiable, but generally start at $1,999 per day, plus expenses. You should expect to complete the training at a much higher skill level. All events must be paid 30 days in advance. Most credit cards are accepted.

I just posted the 2013 seminar and tour schedule. We'll be planning to photograph the Paint Mines Interpretive Park, near Calhan, again, as well as sunrise shoots at the Garden of the Gods Park.

I've scheduled two final seminars for this year - Photoshop Lightroom Workshop and Beginning Digital Photography.

BEGINNING DIGITAL (Friday evening, Dec. 2, 5:30 to 8:00 PM, $40/person) - While I bill this as a beginners seminar, we actually cover several advanced concepts, such as exposure control, exposure compensation and proper white balance. We also cover basic composition and many shooting techniques.

LIGHTROOM WORKSHOP (Friday evening, Dec. 9, 5:30 to 8:00 PM, $75/person) - This is a true hands-on workshop that should get you up and running with Lightroom in short order. We'll cover all the basic controls typically required to enhance your images to meet the vision you have. I'll provide several actual images to enhance or fix. The workshop format will be "demo and do" and there will be plenty of one-on-one for everyone. Bring your laptop or desktop computer with Lightroom Version 3.0 installed (a 30-day trial version is a free download from www.adobe.com).

Both seminars will be held at the Woodland Park - Parks & Recreation Classroom next to City Hall.

This ten-day photo tour is scheduled for November 9-18, 2011, and will include visits to the Sarapiqui Rainforest, the Savegre Cloudforest and the beautiful white sand beaches and rivers of Punta Leona on the west coast, where we'll photograph crocodiles and other wildlife. There will be ample time to photograph lush jungle, rivers and waterfalls, as well as capturing exotic birds and animals. Part of the tour will include macro photography of flowers and frogs! We'll be staying in comfortable lodging. Prices for this tour are $2,195/person and include transportation, lodging and most meals. Please email me if you have an interest. In order to provide the best instructional experience for you, we'll take a MAXIMUM of SIX participants!

Join us for a new photo workshop at Garden of the Gods, near Colorado Springs, Colorado, led by pro photographers and veteran instructors Ken Wyatt and Nat Coalson. We'll start with a sunrise shoot among the spectacular rock formations, and throughout the morning field session you'll learn how to make photographs that fully express your creative vision by mastering camera operations including exposure and depth of field, composition and image design, reading the light and maximizing its potential for each shot. After a lunch break at the Garden of the Gods Visitor Center, you can attend a classroom session where you'll learn about composition and creativity from Ken and then Nat will demonstrate digital photography worklflow using Lightroom and Photoshop. You'll learn about processing your photos to perfection, using color management and methods for sharing your work with other people. We'll wrap up the day with a group critique session.
