PHOTO WORKSHOP - Rafting the Grand Canyon

with Gary Ladd
September 12-23, 2006
Cost: $3,695

Participant Charlie BrooksDay One

We'll meet at the Radisson in Flagstaff at noon for a slide presentation by the photographer.  Today's seminars will likely include classes on basic photographic techniques, composition and Photoshop for photographers.

Day Two

Classroom sessions today will cover more advanced topics of photography, histograms, and the photographer will conduct a portfolio review of up to 10 of your images.  In the early evening our outfitters, Grand Canyon Discovery, will meet with us to go over packing for the trip, safety issues and any questions you may have.

Day Three

After breakfast, our outfitters will take us to Lee's Ferry, where we'll board our Participant Nancy Brooksmotorized boats and begin the trip of a lifetime.

Days Four to Eleven

Lots of water, breathtaking sights of waterfalls and hidden crevasses, hikes into side canyons, photographing others as they run the rapids and, of course, plenty of tips from our experienced photographers!

Day Twelve

After arriving at Diamond Creek you will be taken back to the Radisson in Flagstaff. Arrival times vary, but we anticipate returning by about 5pm.


EQUIPMENT
Warming filters will help correct for the deep blue shadows within the canyon and a graduated neutral density filter may help even out scenes that contain sky. A packet of material will be sent at registration that explains in depth what you will need to bring.  Both workshops will have a generator along for periodic recharging of digital camera batteries.
