Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower
49 states, and no where else in the world can a photographer find the
stunning variety of volcanic craters, multi-hued gulches, rippling sand
dunes and salt-encrusted lake beds that exist here.
Snow-capped 11,000 foot peaks are reflected from the still waters
of Badwater
Basin, hundreds of feet below sea level and the lowest point in the Northern
Hemisphere.

Join us for five days of exploration in
the desert country of
California
and Nevada. Instruction on this tour
will concentrate on creating strong scenics in a barren landscape.
And, we’ll have plenty of time to practice what we’ve learned
in world- renowned locations like Zabriskie Point, Artist’s Drive and
the Mesquite Dunes. The low winter
sun will give us long shadows and warm light, bringing out the texture of
the landscape and accentuating the pastel colors of the scenery.

For even more variety, we’ll also visit the nearby
Alabama Hills. Trying to do justice to
Mt. Whitney towering over the incredible jumble of boulders that make up the Alabama
Hills will challenge our compositional skills. Weather permitting, we'll also try our hand at some star
trails. By
the end of this tour, you will be able to assure people that if you’ve
seen one rock, you’ve definitely not seen them all.
