WEEKEND WORKSHOP: Grand Canyon Winterscapes

© Suzanne Mathiawith Peter Ensenberger

January 16-18, 2010
Cost: $625

This workshop is sold out. Please call our office to be placed on the waiting list.

Come along as we experience Grand Canyon National Park in the off-season. Winter is the perfect season to catch the Canyon at its dramatic best. The cool, crisp air provides crystalline light, perfect for photography. Shorter daylight hours means no early wake-up calls to be in position for sunrise shooting, but the lower angle of the sun provides longer hours of the sweet light that photographers crave.

© Suzanne MathiaAnd, if we’re lucky, Mother Nature will bless us with a mantle of new-fallen snow while we’re there. We’ll also have opportunities to photograph the national park’s menagerie of wildlife. We may get up close and personal with the tourist-friendly deer, squirrels along the rim and the precocious scrub jays. This time of year, there’s even the chance for encounters with reclusive desert bighorn sheep and California condors.
