PHOTO WORKSHOP - Summer Storms of the Grand Canyon

with Jerry Sieve
August 6 - 10, 2005
Cost: $1,575

Summer monsoons bring a host of unpredictable and exciting photographic opportunities to the Grand Canyon. On a clear day, vistas from Cape Royal, Point Imperial and the North Rim's other spectacular viewpoints can't be beat. But when piercing blue skies become filled with towering cloud Don Foersterpillars and the common features of the canyon are suddenly enveloped in a weaving cloak of fog, the chance to craft one-of-a-kind photographs improves. This time of year is generally one of filtered light and fleeting rainbows, and a variety of shooting situations should present themselves as we pursue what we hope will be constantly changing stormlight. We'll learn to filter for the varied situations that present themselves, from deep blue shadows to direct sunlight on the canyon walls. Join us for this chance of a lifetime and capture a storm in one of the most extraordinary settings on earth.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the unpredictability of the weather, the daily schedule of this workshop is subject to change, so that we can take full advantage of dramatic storms and light. We'll likely be making early pre-dawn trips every morning and be out past sunset each evening, so rest will become increasingly important for a successful photographic experience. We urge everyone to pace themselves and take naps at midday. We'll also be at 8,000-plus feet in elevation, so taking time to adjust to the environment is important. Remember that at such elevations, staying hydrated is critical!
