THE WINTER LANDSCAPE

A one day creative photo workshop for Valentines. All levels are welcome.

Winter 2011

Photographing winter landscapes can be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding types of photography. Whether you are shooting a wide landscape or a single snowflake, less than ideal conditions can  challenge even the most experienced photographer. The workshop’s main purpose is to learn how to make a great photograph in less than ideal conditions and to learn how to make something out of nothing.


Topics we will covered include:


  1. BulletSimplifying subject matter.

  2. BulletUsing motion to your advantage.

  3. BulletSeeing monochromic color.

  4. BulletUsing harmonious colors.

  5. BulletControlling contrast.

  6. BulletProper Outdoor Exposure

  7. BulletWorking in Low Light

  8. BulletBlack and White or Color?

  9. BulletTime Exposure

  10. BulletComposition

  11. BulletDepth-of-field - Sense of Depth

  12. BulletRAW vs. JPEG

  13. BulletLeading Lines and S-Curves

  14. BulletThe Rule of Thirds

  15. BulletBalance in Landscape Photography


The workshop will  be in the Tejon Pass, California.

Most people drive through the area on Interstate 5 as fast as possible trying to get north or south. However, the scenery in the area is outstanding and includes the Tejon Ranch preserve.


We will meet in Frazier Park, CA. at 11AM. I will contact you with the exact location. We will try to carpool if possible either from Los Angeles or once we meet in Frazier Park.


The day will begin by discussing the topics above before heading out to shoot photos. We will be looking for winter scenery and shoot various scenes within the Tejon Pass area. Exact locations will be determined by the weather and light. Even in Southern California the weather can be wild in February. Especially at the 5,000 foot elevations.


The workshop will end after sunset about 6:30 PM.
