___________________________________________________________

Our Macro and More™ workshops are vastly different than the vast majority of the workshops available. First, our group size is limited to only eight participants max per instructor. This gives both Mike & I the time to spend with each of you individually in the field. Secondly our workshops are in areas that we are very knowledgeable of. We know the right times, right light and right conditions to be in the right areas in order to allow for the best images available. We base locations on the light and conditions. The goal is to get people to the best locations in the best light. Typically each location has so much variety that we can find something spectacular with macro or landscape photography no matter what the light conditions is that day. 

The shooting schedule can be challenging.  We typically shoot from dawn to dusk (short days in the winter and, really long days in the spring). We eat, sleep, and breathe photography. This is intense photography experience and most attendees come out the experience shooting at a much higher level. We don’t really do ‘formalized’ classroom instruction during these workshops, but rather do our teaching and give tips, answer questions and work in a “hands on “approach in the field. Our workshops are a “learn by doing” type of experience. We have repeat clients coming back this year, which always makes us feel good and lets us know we are giving our customers the best experience possible. There photo workshops are the perfect vehicles to deliver the results you are expecting.

Most importantly, at some point and usually more than once, we take time to review and critique our work. This is one of the most important parts of the workshop.

When the workshop is over, we encourage you to stay in touch with us if you have any questions about anything that has to do with photography. Though we part ways on the last day of the workshop, I hope you will stay I touch.

COMPLETE INFORMATION HERE:     mm_2009_oregon_flyer_01

We have only 2 openings left for the coming workshop this spring. This is going to be a very different experience from what you may expect. We will shoot the beauty of the Columbia River Gorge and surround areas of Mt. Hood as well as travel to the magnificent Oregon Coast for both unique landscape photography and some amazing macro possibilities. We will be shooting the tide pools on Sunday. We have timed this workshop with one of the lowest tides of the year, which offers us more time to photograph as well as explore some areas not available during the remainder of the year. You will see abundant sea stars, other creatures, along with other subjects that will make for some really amazing photography. We’ll also be visiting a few of the many lighthouses, sea stack beaches along the coast along with much more.

For over 15 years Jack has conducted workshops in the glorious Easter Sierra. For the 1^st time this year Mike & Jack are again joining forces for another MACRO & MORE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP™, this time in one of the most breathtaking areas in the worlds, California’s Eastern Sierra.

 

Early October is perhaps the best time to visit this vast and beautiful landscape. This is the peak time for the fall color in Eastern /Central California. We will be shooting landscape as well as macro at Mono Lake and the surrounding areas, Bodie State Park (Ghost Town), as well as many unknown areas that are in their fall beauty this time of the year. On Sunday, we will venture south, and up to over 9000’ elevation to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest to photograph the grand landscape as well as the intimacy of these ancient, specimens, some as old as 4000 years. This is an experience you won’t forget and after being there, I know you’ll want to return.

 

 

 

WHAT’S AHEAD in 2010…?

 

Yes it planning time again. Based on the success so far, we plan on doing at least 4 Macro & More Photography Workshops in 2009. We look to expand these workshops new locations. Some of the locations targeted include Acadia National Park, Olympic National Park, Upper Michigan Peninsula, Cuyahoga National Park, or somewhere TBD in the American Southwest. If you have any suggestions, please send them along.

 

Again, please feel free to contact us at any time for more details.

 

Thanks you

 

Jack & Mike
