Yosemite Photography & Hiking
Yosemite National Park has been an inspiration for artists and photographers for decades. Join us for a spectacular tour of this iconic Park to capture the beauty of Yosemite in a photograph.
Highlights:
- Individual photo instruction by an internationally recognized photographer
- Extraordinary day hikes
- A multitude of photography opportunities
- Constructive group critique of photography
What to Expect:
On our five-day and five-night tour we will visit several different regions of the Park, allowing us to experience first hand what Yosemite has to offer. A more leisurely hiking pace will allow the group time to examine a vast selection of subjects along the trail.
We will visit a grove of giant Sequoias and mingle among the trees for the perfect shot. We will hike to the top of Sentinel Dome and visit Glacier Point to capture beautiful sunset photos of Half Dome and Yosemite Valley. Climbing to the top of Nevada Falls will prove to be quite the challenge for most but the photography along the way is second to none.
On this tour, the opportunity to photograph many of the classic scenes captured by famous photographers such as Ansel Adams will be at your fingertips. To complement this, you will have access to photography coaching and critiques to help you reach the next level you desire in photography.
Your photography guide, Niobe Burden (www.niobeburden.com), will tailor her instruction to suit every type of photographer. Whether you are a casual photo buff wanting to learn more about your point and shoot camera, or an advanced amateur with a digital SLR wanting to reach a new level of skill, this tour isn’t to be missed.
Both point and shoot digital camera enthusiasts and digital SLRs are encouraged. Laptop computers are also recommended but not required to allow for possible one on one critiques and for you to download your photos and choose images for the group critiques. Lightweight tripods are also strongly advocated if you want to capture waterfalls and evening light on the classic rock formations in Yosemite.
