NATIONAL PARKS PHOTOGRAPHY TRIPS Almost three years ago I started visiting and scouting some of the best National Parks in the US, devoting a lot of time to develop photographic routes with in each venue that were stunning and accessible. The result is a series of photographic trips based on schedules that will allow people to shoot the best locations with-in each park at the best time of year, with the best light. Every day we go at least twice to photograph, early morning, before the sun is out and afternoon until we get those beautiful star shots. EVERYTHING has been taken in consideration, angle of the sun, phases of the moon etc.…these PhotoXperiences are designed to get THE BEST POSSIBLE PICTURE. Most of the trips will include one on one edit and critique sessions as well tips on how to shoot stunning landscapes. The other advantage is the small groups; I never take more than 5 participants to these adventures. Most of the imagery featured in my book, “Visions of My World” come from these trips

ITINERARY
THE ULTIMATE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE Join us in this photographic adventure that will take us from Badwater Basin the lowest point in North America to the peaks of Bryce National Park. Witness the magnificent landscape of Dead Valley, shot at the correct time and from the best vantage points. Every day with start before dawn to photograph the stars and the Milk Way in the desert setting. During our 4 days at this park we will journey to Zabriskie Point, The Salt Flats, Mesquite Sand Dunes, West Side Road, Artist Road, Artist Palette and many other outstanding sites. The fact that we are staying inside the park in Furnace Creek ranch, give us the flexibility to shoot at any time. Next is Zion National Park with its magnificent peaks and its creator, the mighty Virgin River filled with photo opportunities. We will have morning and afternoon shoots in the Temple of Sinawava, Court of the Patriarchs, Towers of the Virgin, and my favorite the high lands the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway. In Zion we are staying in Springsdale right outside the park, so we have immediate access to the shooting grounds. Our last stop is Bryce National Park, one of the most spectacular canyons in the world and premier spot for stargazing. Bryce is a land of extremes with shifting weather patterns that set the stage for dramatic images. Here we photograph Sunrise Point, Sunset Point and hike the rim trail in search of photographic opportunities.

On the last morning we take the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway back to Las Vegas and shoot along the way. I think great landscape photos come from nature’s whims and there are plenty of those during this time of year, I also love the fact that there is not a single soul in these areas at the time we shoot, we have greatness to ourselves. Join us on this fantastic photographic experience.
