PayPal preferred. Buyer pays for shipping – I can ship UPS or FedEx from Portland, OR; all shipments must be insured.

All pricing has been compared to recent ebay auctions that have actually sold, as well as comparing to various used outlets.

Bret Edge Photography Workshops

Moab Fall Photo Adventure
October 23 - 26, 2008

No season is finer in Moab than autumn. Colorful foliage, cooler temperatures, fewer tourists and gorgeous light all combine to make this a truly special time here. Join us for exciting field excursions and expert classroom instruction on maximizing your skills in the digital darkroom.

Moab Winter Wonderland
December 4 - 7, 2008

Snow on the red rocks of Moab provides an interesting and beautiful contrast to any scene. Though we can't guarantee snow, that possibility always exists at this time of year. Even without it, the light is wonderful and allows for photographs that are possible only at this time of year. And, we'll probably have every location we photograph all to ourselves! Join us for exciting field excursions and expert classroom instruction on maximizing your skills in the digital darkroom.

Escalante National Monument Photo Workshop
by Grant Collier

Dates: August 30 – September 1, 2008 (Labor Day Weekend)  
Cost: $595.00 per person
http://www.collierworkshops.com

Escalante National Monument in southern Utah was created in 1996 and contains nearly 2 million acres of primordial land. This monument is an ideal location for nature photography, as it contains an endless array of natural wonders, including numerous slot canyons, natural arches, and hoodoos.

During the August/September, 2008 workshop, professional photographer Grant Collier will lead participants to some of the best photographic locations in and around Escalante National Monument . Each day will consist of instructional sessions of varying lengths, along with shoots at practically every hour of the day and night. Participants will therefore have the option to choose which shoots they are most interested in, from sunrise shoots at the break of dawn to star trail shoots lasting well into the night!

During this workshop, Grant will teach participants about composition, lighting, shutter speed and aperture settings, filters, tripods, film, and much more.  Grant will also teach participants the digital imaging tools and techniques involved in creating professional-quality digital photographs. This will include determining the optimum settings for your digital camera, processing files with Lightroom and Photoshop, and preparing files for printing. Grant will also explain how to stitch photos together to produce very large images and how best to convert color images to black & white.

RMNP Photography Workshops

Improve your photographic skills with guidance from one of Colorado's award winning nature photographers at a Rocky Mountain On Location Photography Workshop. Learn how to consistently make better photographs of nature through critiques of your images, examples of the instructor's work, and expert guidance on small field trips.

Daily critique sessions, assignments, and location shoots are designed to help you learn to create great photographs. These workshops are geared for digital photography and include additional instruction on downloading, saving, organizing, and archiving images, and on cropping, sizing, and manipulating images on the computer. Digital photographers should bring their own SLR digital camera, tripod, laptop computer, and editing software. Student photographers should also already have a basic comfortable understanding of how to operate their digital camera in a manual setting. You must also already have a basic understanding of your computer and editing software.

Film photographers are also encouraged to attend but realize that daily image critiques will be impossible.
