2021 Joshua Tree National Park
Black-and-White Infrared Intensive Workshop
Join us Mar 3 – 7, 2021 for a four-and-one-half day workshop in the high desert of Joshua Tree National Park!
We will be shooting a variety of landscapes from the enormous palm trees at Cottonwood Springs to the amazing granite monoliths under the early morning night sky (pre-dawn). The moon is waning so our early morning shoots will feature different conditions as the workshop progresses. Other spots we will visit include Barker Dam, Keys View, Lost Horse Valley, Hall of Horrors, the Ocotillo Patch, and the Cholla Cactus Gardens.
From using the right gear to capture and processing, this is a unique opportunity to learn how to create amazing black-and-white images.
At this workshop,
- You will be placed in the best locations to maximize the infrared light under existing conditions.
- You will receive individual help in the field to ensure a successful capture. Every day there will be hands-on experience in the classroom for processing your images while learning how to manage workflow.
- Finally, you will have the opportunity to use a “loaner” external lens filter to make infrared images at no charge to you! 720nm and 850nm infrared Kolari Vision external lens filters for visible-light (“color only”) cameras will be available if you do not have your own.
