SUMMARY:Death Valley National Park with Michael E. Gordon (Travel Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:ONE SEAT LEFT!!\nDeath Valley National Park is a desert wonderland of immense scale\, beauty\, and power. Its 3.4 million acres\, the vast majority of which are roadless wilderness\, encompass a staggering array of landscapes\, unique geologic formations\, and colorful vistas. The largest National Park in the contiguous United States\, Death Valley is both beautiful to behold and rich in history\, mood\, and mystique. Its towering sand dunes\, seasonally snow-capped mountains\, warm springs\, and vast empty valleys offer endless opportunity for exploration and ample subject matter for the creative artist. There’s no place on Earth quite like it.\nInternationally acclaimed landscape photographer Michael E. Gordon has carefully selected some of the park’s most photogenic locations for this workshop\, where outstanding photographic opportunities will be joined with inspirational\, creative\, and technical discussions. In the field\, Michael works individually with all students to address their technical and creative challenges. This will be an intensive adventure! Expect pre-dawn starts\, late finishes\, outstanding locations\, and great fun and camaraderie.\nDay one begins with a three-hour class covering fundamentals of nature and landscape photography\, with topics including equipment choices\; use of filters\; focus/Depth of Field\; focus stacking\; using natural light\; creative composition\, and much more. After the day one class\, the rest of our time will be spent photographing on location along with individual field instruction.\n\n\nMichael E. Gordon is an award-winning fine art landscape photographer best known for his black and white impressions of California’s deserts which\, said Broughton Quarterly\, portrays “stunning ethereal beauty from terrain where others see only a bleak landscape.” A lifelong student of nature and wilderness\, Michael’s intimate relationship with the natural world yields quiet images of depth and discovery. His work has been written about and published by LensWork\; Elements\; Medium Format\; On Landscape\; Outdoor Photographer\; SHOTS\; Backpacker\; B+W Photography (UK)\; Arte Fotográfico\; View Camera\; Rangefinder\; and many more. His awards and recognition include International Photography Awards\, Prix de la Photographie\, Paris\, and Black &amp\; White Spider Awards.\n\nView instructor profile here.\n\nVIDEOS\n\nPlease be sure to choose viewing in 720HD!\n\nhttps://youtu.be/u1G-IyuDtUc\n\nOriginally aired in Japan in April 2015\, Michael is one of four Death Valley experts featured in the NHK Great Nature (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) "Death Valley" feature-length documentary film (http://bit.ly/1f84OPe).
