Death Valley National Park is truly a "Land of Great Extremes.   We will make photos at 282 feet below sea level at Badwater, and will view the expanse of the Valley from 5475 feet above sea level at Dante’s View.  The Funeral Mountains and The Panamint Range will serve as backdrops for our sand dune images, and the remarkable rock walls at Artists Palette will add surprising color to the photos.  To capture the iconic image of Death Valley, we will await the first rays of light from the rising sun to strike Manly Beacon at Zabriske Point, and shoot the lines, forms and colors of Golden Canyon.  A 1.5 mile hike over mostly flat terrain will lead us to Darwin Falls and an amazing oasis within this arid landscape.  I hope you will join us to make some great photos and have fun in Death Valley National Park.  For more information contact Richard, or to register visit The Nature Workshops website at www.natureworkshops.com, or telephone Roger at 618-589-1729.

Photography workshops with Richard . . .  Richard is an inspired instructor with twenty years of teaching experience.  He leads workshops that are fun and effective.  Richard has studied with some of today’s most creative photographers, including Freeman Patterson, Robert Glenn Ketchum, Dewitt Jones, Andre Gallant and Eddie Soloway.  While each has                                    had a significant influence on Richard's work, his own vision                                      is reflected in his images, and he strives to share this personal                               quality with those he teaches.  While most of the workshop time                             will be spent in the field, where outdoor photography instruction                                is most effective, there will also be a classroom session to review basic concepts and critique images.  The discussion will include the essentials of visual design, to stimulate your creativity and expand your vision.  These workshops are an opportunity to spend a few days enjoying the beauty of nature while learning to make better photographs.  You will return home with great images and improved photographic techniques.

  May 29 - June 8, 2009

This tour will provide an excellent opportunity to capture the essence of Ireland, from ancient villages, abbeys, and round towers, to dramatic seaside cliffs, and the rugged Connemara Mountains. Using the principles of composition and visual design, Richard will work with you in the field to create a dynamic portfolio of Western Ireland images. You will maximize your time in the region by taking advantage of all lighting conditions in order to artistically interpret the drama of the landscape, the intimate details of Irish history, and the rich greens of spring on the Emerald Isle.  This tour is conducted by Strabo Tours, and sponsored by The Nature Workshops.  For more information, to view our itinerary or to register please go to the Strabo Tours website.
