Professional Photography Workshop Coming to B Bar
This September, join F-11 Photographic Supplies and photographic artist Sandra Nykerk for an unparalleled photo workshop opportunity based at the spectacular B Bar Ranch just north of Yellowstone National Park.
You’ll enjoy exclusive access to the ranch property, sleep in your own mountain cabin, and enjoy gourmet meals prepared by the resident chef – all while expanding your photographic skills in the inspiring company of accomplished photographers.
The B Bar is a working ranch with stunning landscapes and scenic views, offering all of the photographic opportunities you would anticipate in a classic western landscape. From wildlife to rustic barns and a tipi tucked in the trees, from cowboys moving cattle to the majestic Rare Breed Suffolk Punch Draft Horses, you’ll have access to unique and varied photographic subjects, including the B Bar’s own organic gardens and greenhouses. We’ll also spend one day in Yellowstone National Park photographing the essence of this American icon – from elk bugling in the autumn landscape to the dazzling colors and unique patterns of the hydrothermal features.
Our days will be divided between photographing in the field and time in the classroom which will be devoted to ongoing discussions of photographic principles and techniques. You’ll expand your digital vocabulary and learn the differences between file formats and color spaces and what selections are the best for your specific needs and digital workflow. We’ll review the choices in your camera menus and recommend settings for optimal camera performance. Post-processing presentations will help you to optimize the full potential of your images using your expanding photo-editing skills. Editing techniques will be demonstrated utilizing Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge exclusively, and we recommend you have at least the trial version loaded on your laptop for use during the workshop.
Nikon USA, our workshop sponsor, will provide equipment for use during the workshop, so you will be able to practice your new skills with state-of-the-art photographic equipment, including camera bodies, lenses, and flash units. From wide-angle landscapes to intimate macro details, you’ll gain experience in all aspects of outdoor photography. The instructors will focus on your personal learning goals, and the low teacher-to-student ratio assures that there will be ample opportunity for interactive sessions in the field, including the lens choices and composition considerations which will enhance your own personal vision.
Pack your bags, load your camera gear and get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime learning adventure in an unparalleled visual landscape.
The workshop begins with a welcome dinner and tour of the B Bar Ranch on September 14th, and continues through mid-morning on Friday, September 19th, 2008. The cost of $2100 includes photographic instruction, lodging and all meals. Make your reservation today.
