 Few visitors ever take the time to immerse themselves in the beauty that the River of Grass has to offer. Most of our time in the field will be in Everglades National Park with one day devoted to the upper keys from Key Largo down to Islamorada. The intent of this workshop is to introduce the participants to photographic opportunities in the Everglades that they may not experience on their own, along with a touch of the Florida Keys. This workshop will include sunrises and sunsets, moonrises and moonsets, landscapes, seascapes, life in the hardwood hammocks, gators, and birds.

Oct 21-25,2014 workshop is scheduled during a new moon. Astral photography will be included in this workshop.

 

                             

 

April 20-24, 2015 workshop is scheduled during Lyrids Meteor Shower and will include night photography.

November 16-20, 2015 workshop is  during Leonids Meteor Shower and will include night photography.
