Another Ranch Photography Workshop Comment

“Tom Whetten’s May 2010 Ranch Photography Workshop was a wonderful experience. I signed up for Tom Whetten’s workshop with the hopes that it would help me make the transition from 35mm to digital photography. I was not disappointed. Tom Whetten is an excellent instructor, and his workshop was very well organized. We never felt rushed during the entire four days. Fee included tent accommodations, all meals, and travel for all the outings on the historic Double Circle Ranch. Every trip out we saw something exciting to photograph (elk, mule deer, white-tail deer, Javalina, wild turkey, and a wide variety of birds). We were surrounded with breath-taking scenery with not one single utility pole to mar the perfect shot. An entire morning was devoted to photographing the round-up and cattle drive of Texas Longhorns. An afternoon was divided between photographing ranch hand, Chris, training a young horse and later we photographed a variety of hummingbirds. Throughout the workshop, Tom respectfully answered every question and offered many helpful suggestions on how to improve our shots. A slide show critique was held each day. Doug and Wilma, owners of the Double Circle Ranch, went out-of-their way to make this a wonderful experience. I found the tent accommodations very comfortable. Each tent has a private deck, shower and toilet. My private deck – complete with rocking chair – overlooked a beautiful tree-lined creek. Meals were planned around our schedule. Food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you Wilma, Doug, Tom, Jim, and Clarice for a great time.”
