2012 Photo Safari Schedule

Shooting in the Field

Safaris are actual hands-on, in the field, working one-on-one experiences to create professional quality images.  Field trips are held in order to build practical experience by applying the skills learned in the photography seminars, or building on the skills you already have. 
There is no better way to learn photography than to have your composition, exposure, and creative ideas tweaked and improved in the field while shooting with a professional photographer.  The safaris bring two dimensional classroom ideas into three dimensional reality.  Participants will be able to use my Nikon camera and lenses, and my Nikon 500mm F4 Lens in wildlife photography situation.  Even if you shoot Canon you can pop your CF card into my camera to use my lenses if you don't own a long telephoto lens. 

   The half day safaris begin at 7am (sometimes 7:30am) and run through 1pm.  The cost is $80.
  
The local one day safaris begin at 7am and run through 7pm, or sunset.  The cost is $160.
   The multiple day safaris are more regional field trips, and the cost is $200/day and begin at sunrise.
  
There is a 20% Discount for past safari attendees.
  
Transportation to the safari is required, though you might be able to travel with me or others to split gas. 
   No additional fee for a non-photographer spouse, but you will have to provide your own vehicle, hotels, etc. 
  
Safaris are limited to 6-8 people so we travel easier and I have more time to help each photographer.
  
If you get at least 3 photographers together for a Custom Safari - there is a group discount.
   Hotel accommodations and other related travel info will be provided at the time you inquire about the safari. 

Multiple day safaris are unique photographic events to regional locations such as  Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico,  Southern Utah Spring and Fall, Death Valley Spring, Yellowstone Winter / Spring / Fall, Arizona Spring, or other locations are multiple day safaris.  They are really opportunities to immerse yourself in photography.  Also, great locations just can't be photographed in one day. 
We critique images and have a Photoshop tutorial on image processing and retouching on at least one evening during the safari.

  
Pre-register for the safaris as numbers are limited.  Early registration guarantees you a spot.
