 with
Nikon technical representative
July 10 - 14, 2006
Cost: $1,695
Those who come to
Oregon are in for a treat. Nikon has graciously agreed to
have one of their technical representatives bring an assortment
of cameras and lenses to use during our visit to some of Oregon’s
most scenic locales. The first two days of this adventure
will be spent in the Columbia River Gorge,  with
quick and easy access to scenic locations like Sherrard Point
and Women’s Forum, as well as waterfalls such as Multnomah,
Ponytail and Wahkeena Falls. You’ll photograph in these
locations in the mornings and evenings, returning to the retreat
center for lab time and to learn about advanced camera settings
and functions. You’ll also learn how to enhance images
to make them look their best. Then it’s on to the coast
and seaside accommodations near Haystack Rock, where you’ll
enjoy terrific views of the ocean and have a chance to explore
Ecola State Park.  Outstanding
locations and a chance to learn all about digital cameras
and workflow make this an opportunity not to be missed.
Throughout our stay,
participants will have access to Nikon's latest digital cameras,
which this year may include D70s and D2Xs. These camera bodies
can take your entire range of Nikon AF lenses and there will
also be plenty of other Nikon lenses on hand with which to
experiment.  Nikon’s expert instructor will provide personal
instruction in the field on how to use the cameras. Friends
of Arizona Highways professionals will handle all the logistics
and make sure you get to the best locations at the right times
in order to capture
the ultimate images of the landscapes in this spectacular
area. When we are not out in the field, we will make good
use of the ‘off-light’ times to learn the details
of downloading, manipulating via Photoshop and printing our
best images. You will leave the workshop with special images
and memories, ready to move to the next level as a digital
photographer.
