September 27 - October 4 Colorado Fall Color Photo Workshop |
$2,095 Flight Destination: Denver, CO |
Fall in the Colorado high country is a sight to behold. It's no wonder so many people travel to this area year after year to see the aspens changing to gold and even orange in some areas. Rugged mountain backdrops just add to the beauty of this annual photography rite. Crisp
blue skies, yellow trees and snow dusting the mountaintops make for some great
color contrasts as well as great compositions. Learn some new techniques for shooting
well before the sun breaks the horizon that will amaze you and everyone who looks
at your photos. Special exposure tips will also be provided to help give a bit
of punch to the colors. The days will be long as we will leave to be at our first
location well before sunrise and we will shoot until we lose light at night. There
will be mid-day breaks for resting, downloading images and instructional programs. |
As a previous 17-year resident of Colorado, I have found many hidden spots that make this a memorable experience. The trip is based out of three areas - Aspen, Ridgway and Crested Butte. The first night and morning will be spent near Aspen to do a sunrise photo shoot at the popular Maroon Bells area. The next two nights will be spent in Ridgway exploring roads around there. The last two nights will be spent in Crested Butte. Some of the best color in Colorado is found in these areas including getting some red from the scrub oaks. One area we visit near Crested Butte is know for a group of aspens that turn red every year. This aspen grove, at Kebler Pass, is the largest single living organism on earth. |  |
| Other popular areas besides Maroon Bells we visit include Dallas Divide, Last Dollar Road, The Dyke on Kebler Pass near Crested Butte and Owl Creek Pass. Four-wheel drive roads will be encountered on this trip. Some of these spots are the most photographed places in the state and you can see for yourself why. Even with many photos taken here, each one you take will be different from those made in the past. These workshops do not involve much trail hiking, however, they can involve walking along roads and slopes with uneven surfaces. Be prepared for possible temperature extremes and sudden changes in weather. Be aware that mornings and evenings can be very chilly in September and snow is a possibility at higher elevations. |
