GOT WILDLIFE?

Tired of almost getting the shot of wildlife. Ever wonder how'd he get that shot? Perhaps you have bought that dream camera and that dream lens that always turns heads when you show up, but if they saw your photos, they would know the truth. Perhaps you actually have shot some award winning photos yourself, but you're inconsitant. This workshop will get you out of the how to books and into the field with one of the best in the world and he actually has the creds to back that claim up! Sean is an excellent communicator who will help you understand what makes a great wildlife photo so you can get "THE" shot everytime and not have to depend on happy accidents. For more info about Sean go to http://www.seanfitzgerald.com/ and for more info abot Los Madrones go to http://www.losmadrones.com/Los_Madrones/Home.html . Whether you are a seasoned pro or a serious amateur, plan on being challenged and advancing your learning process by months, if not years!

THE PROCESS...SLEEP IS OVER RATED!

Here's what you can expect when you take this workshop. We will meet the evening before the workshop begins for wine and appetizers so we can all meet including some locals that might be able to help you with your assignments. On day one we will meet early to start shooting with Sean at Los Madrones at first light, the best light in the world. Around mid morning all will break for lunch and a nap...if they want to. Prior to all meeting again at LM for more shooting we will meet for an hour of portfolio reviews. Our first critique session with Sean will take place after dinner. This is where you will grow the most as a photographer. No worries though, Sean is a true gentleman...unless you really upset him. Day two will be the same. Day three will start the same, however, we will critique the morning session after lunch. Prior to the close of the workshop there will be a final Q&A session. We should be dismissed around four or five P.M.

THE CAMP HIGH

What happens after most workshops? You go home and look at your photos from your assignments and you begin to ponder all you have learned. Then, the phone rings or your kids gang attack you or you have an A.D.D. moment and the ceiling fan reminds you of something else and before you know it days go by and the “Camp High” begins to fade. Pretty soon you remember only half of what was taught. NOT ON OUR WATCH! Feel free to finish the day at the ranch shooting more wildlife on your own and email a couple of your best shots to Sean so he can see how you have progressed and how you need to be further advised.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

Besides a true desire to learn, you will need your camera equipment and a tripod. If you do not own a telephoto, you should consider renting either a 400mm, 500mm or a 600mm. You will also need to bring your laptop with either Photoshop, Bibble, Aperture or Lightroom loaded on the machine. If this is a problem don’t freakout and decide not to take the workshop or go out and buy a bunch of stuff you may not want to buy. Call me and we will work something out.
