Experience the Rockies through the view finder on one of our instructional Photo Safaris. Learn the skills of wildlife, landscape, macro, and nature photography, or focus on just one or two of those skills. Everyone from professionals to first timers will gain a new perspective on photography and Rocky Mountain National Park. NOTE: There will be construction on Bear Lake Road through 2013. This is not the main road in the park, but is the best hiking, snowshoeing, and alpine lake photo area in the park. Currently the Park has not announced the Spring and Summer Construction schedule. There may be night closures each Wednesday and Friday so sunrise access may not be available those days during the summer. We are experienced with all makes and models of DSLR cameras including: Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, and a whole variety of point and shot models. Beginners, learn how to use your camera to its fullest potential and we'll get you off of automatic mode. We are very experienced in teaching you the basics in a simple understandable manner so you start seeing huge improvements within the first hour of the tour. Generally a 4 or 6 hour tour is best for beginners. Some folks burn out at 4 hours, while others can keep going well past 6. The best length for you depends on which one of of those descriptions is most like you. Experienced photographers, we can plan a special trip to try to catch amazing shots, go over your technique, customize your camera settings, and talk about ways to improve your shots here in Rocky and all over the world. I've had clients tell me that in a single tour they have learned more than on workshops from big names like Moose Peterson and Aurthur Morris. We can discuss skills like hyperfocal distance, prime apertures for sharpness, live view focusing, tilt/shift, long lens techniques and more. We can also make a custom trip to hit some really amazing locations that can take years to find. Photo Safari Seaonal OptionsClick the season you are planning your photo safari and get some ideas and options of what we can shot.
First we will start by taking a quick tour of your camera making sure its set up to capture the best pictures possible. Then learn aspects of photography such as composition, light metering, reading a histogram, and some secrets that will improve every shot you take. If you want to make the jump from "point and shoot" to the world of "f stops" and "shutter speed," this is the perfect opportunity for you.
