ITINERARY
The places you'll explore and experience on your visit are weather dependent. It will be early autumn in Colorado with generally mild temperatures. This means Indian summer days and chilly nights. Be prepared for the occasional rainfall or even storm. It's impossible to give a one hundred percent accurate itinerary, but the tentative itinerary is as follows:
- Horseback riding among herds of two thousand bison
- Hiking and exploring the tallest sand dunes in North America
- Astrophotography of the milky-way and starry sky
- Activities will be curated based on the participants' preference
The itinerary is flexible, and will be built around the weather. We have an extensive list of activities we will be participating in and shooting everyday. This workshop is a great opportunity to shoot alongside me while we both strive to create the best images we can. We will conceptualize assignments and plan how to best execute them. Each day will have options for different activities. It is important that those who apply have a decent understanding of their camera and feel safe participating in any of these activities.
