The workshop departs from and returns to Phoenix, AZ. Departure is at 8:00 a.m. and we will be loading gear at 7:30 a.m. If you are from out of town we recommend you book lodging for the night before the workshop begins to ensure you are on time for departure and also the night the workshop ends as you will probably return late in the afternoon or early evening and we would not want you to miss your flight home if you are delayed for any reason.
TENTATIVE ITINERARY
Please be aware that shooting locations stated in this itinerary may change. Each day we will determine which locations are best based on lighting conditions, in the hopes of giving you the best opportunities possible.
Day One
- We'll arrive in Page, AZ at roughly 2 p.m., check into the
hotel and take a short break.
- Our group meets as a whole in the conference room at 5:30 p.m.
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 location to photograph. 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.
- 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 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 critique of more images is planned.
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.
The workshop is expected to return to Phoenix by approximately 8:00 pm. Again we recommend out of state visitors book lodging for this night and return home the following day so you do not risk missing your flight in case we are delayed for any reason.

PHOTO 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.
