This workshop has been sold out.
Contact us to get on a standby list.
Day One
- We leave Phoenix promptly at 8am, so be sure
to meet us at 7:30am to load gear.
- We'll arrive in Page, AZ at roughly 2pm, check into the
hotel and take a short break.
- Our group meets as a whole in the conference room at 5:30pm
for a slide presentation. Bring examples
of your work to share!
 Day Two
- We'll be up before sunrise for a shoot at Little Cut,
overlooking the colorful Vermilion Cliffs.
- After breakfast we'll head to Upper Antelope Canyon or another suitable locationto photograph.
In these canyons, the middle of the afternoon is prime time
for photography due to the angle of light and chance for light beams. Please note: Restrictions on group size at Upper Antelope Canyon mean we'll break into two groups that enter the canyon at slightly different times of day.
- Back in town we may have the chance to drop film off for
developing. Talk to your escorts ahead of time if you would like this service.
- In the late afternoon we'll make a short hike into the
Paria Bluffs area to photograph unique and unusual rock
formations called "hoodoos."
Day Three
- We rise early again for another short hike, this time
to the Horseshoe Bend overlook where we'll capture first
light above the Colorado River.
- We'll spend the afternoon capturing the shifting colors
and patterns in Lower Antelope Canyon.
- Sunset will find us at Waterholes Canyon where the strangely
tilted sandstone formations glow in evening light.
- A slide critique of the work we shot on Day Two is likely
in the early evening.
 Day Four
- We can sleep in a little this morning, as there will be
no sunrise shoot.
- We may return to Upper Antelope Canyon or visit another
nearby slot canyon in the afternoon.
- A slide critique of more images is expected.
Day Five
- Dawn finds us at another spot near Lake Powell taking
advantage of the morning light.
- A return visit to Lower Antelope Canyon rounds out the
workshop.
- We should return to Phoenix by about 8pm. We encourage
you to make your return flight reservation for the morning
after our return.

 TIP:
Use a tripod to keep images sharp: the sturdier and heavier,
the better. At times when a tripod may be inconvenient or prohibited,
consider other alternatives. A monopod, a bean bag to rest your
camera on, or leaning against a wall or other sturdy surface
will also help. A chain monopod can be assembled with just a
few components that you can purchase from your local hardware
store for less than $5. Avoid using the center extension on
a tripod, this causes the camera to become unstable and defeats
the purpose of using the tripod. To prevent camera shake you
should also use a cable release, and for those that have them
the camera's mirror lock-up and/or self-timer may prove valuable.
