The Trip

Join us on a seven-day trek through the landscapes of eastern California's mountains and desert.

From the fabled high country of Yosemite, to eerie Mono Lake, strange crystal boulders of Devil's Postpile, the ancient Bristlecone pines of the White Mountains, to the classic views of granite boulders and high Sierra made famous by Hollywood Westerns at the Alabama Hills, this workshop take us through an amazing variety of landscapes and history.

The trip is designed to be a complete immersion in landscape photography and its digital evolution with the pioneer in digital landscape photography.

We will move at our own pace, a photographic pace, that gives you time to really look, appreciate and work with the landscape, your camera, and Steve.

The Workshop

This digital landscape workshop explores these landscapes with the new tools of digital photography, including on-site visualization, and technical evaluation.

Lectures will include digital exposure, composition, visual distillation, archiving, color management and fine-art printing. We will discuss technical and aesthetic issues, tapping into your emotional response to this landscape, working toward images that are uniquely your own. The emphasis will be improving the composition and technical finesse of the participants, empowering the individual photographers to better pursue their vision, from image-making to print-making.

We will hold group critique sessions in the evenings, using a digital projector to display selections of the day's work.
