Nature and Ranch Photography Workshop with Tom Whetten

May 12th to May 15th, 2011

Cowboy Cattle Ranch Photo Workshops at the Double Circle

Cattle Ranch Photo Workshops at the Double Circle

Here is your chance to photograph the American West! Herds of Texas Longhorns, working cowboys, and wide open western skies are the setting for great pictures on the historic Double Circle Ranch. Join us for a special wildlife and nature photography program at the Double Circle Ranch! We’ll have two photography sessions each day, covering topics including:

  • Depth of field
  • Composition
  • How and when to use Photoshop
  • When and why to shoot in RAW or jpeg
  • And more!

We’ll begin Thursday evening with dinner, orientation and a classroom-based discussion. Friday and Saturday we’ll spend our days out in the field with our photography equipment, experimenting and taking hundreds (or thousands!) of pictures. We’ll return to the base camp classroom in the evening for more classroom training and to critique each other’s work. Sunday we’ll be back in the field until lunch, and our guests will depart after lunch.

Price

Price includes double occupancy accommodations in outfitter tents with private baths, three family-style home cooked meals each day, all training and instruction, tours and transportation around the ranch, workshop handouts and notes, and authentic cattle and cowboys for models.

We will be offering this program in the future for $950, but you can get in on this one at its introductory price of only $750 per person. Don’t wait – we expect this workshop to fill up quickly at this price! Maximum of 8 guests.
